John 6, 60-69

John 6, 60-69

Holy Gospel according to Saint John 6, 60-69

Many of the disciples of Jesus who were listening said,
“This saying is hard; who can accept it?”
Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this,
he said to them, “Does this shock you?
What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
It is the Spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail.
The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life.
But there are some of you who do not believe.”
Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe
and the one who would betray him.
And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me
unless it is granted him by my Father.”

As a result of this,
many of his disciples returned to their former way of life
and no longer walked with him.
Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?”
Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go?
You have the words of eternal life.
We have come to believe
and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”

The Spirit leads you to God. Allow yourself to be guided

1) The Spirit.  You and I must work on allowing the Spirit to act in us. We have to be aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our life. Let yourself be touched by the Holy Ghost and open your soul to the Spirit. Talk to Him, let Him guide you, He will heal you. This is not just for the charismatic movement or only part of your Pentecost prayers. We tend to leave the Holy Spirit behind. Start bonding with the Holy Spirit and allow Him to move in you. He can sanctify you and heal you. In order to do this, you have to believe.

2) Believe. As Catholics, we believe in Someone, Someone that is alive and real. That Someone we believe in is Jesus. Have faith because if you don’t, your life will become bitter and hard. Those who believe, see life differently, they have Hope.T

3) Only to God. Live your life in God’s light, walking towards Him. In fact, that is the only way to truly live life happily. I might fail you; people might fail you, but God never fails. He is always faithful.

God bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And remember that Heaven is our goal.
