Today we celebrate the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time. We see that our life is material and spiritual. When we understand it very well /we know that there must be balance between these components.
In today’s Gospel we see the people who are looking for Jesus because he gave them FREE MEAL. They recognize Jesus only as the person who can secure the material things for them: that means the bread and fish for food. They don’t see that Jesus is the Lord and Master who wants to give not only the material bread, but the spiritual bread as well.
The Eucharist, which we now celebrate, is the feast where we eat the real bread and we drink the real wine. But this bread and this wine are transfigured into the body and blood of Christ. And in this manner we start the eternal life but we have to first of all be on that feast and believe in it and after this we can make miracles within our lives.

- “At the same time, my instinct to be independent is by no means evil. My freedom is not perfected by subjection to a tyrant. Subjection is an end in itself. It is right that my nature should rebel against subjection. Why should my will have been created free, if I were never to use my freedom?†(Thomas Merton – No Man is an Island)
- MY MISSION: When I am the disciple of Christ and the member of his Church I realize this and participate in all matters which concern Him. The Ordinary Season and the Sunday’s Masses are not my challenge but my privilege.
