Friarly: The Gift and the Challenge: Homily for April 27, 2020

In the readings today Christ begins the Bread of Life discourse and we see the great gift that Jesus has given us both in his Body and in His Word. We too are like the crowds and are grateful for the gift. But do we understand what the gifts really mean? Do we understand what they tell us about the giver of those gifts?

In the readings today Christ begins the Bread of Life discourse and we see the great gift that Jesus has given us both in his Body and in His Word. We too are like the crowds and are grateful for the gift. But do we understand what the gifts really mean? Do we understand what they tell us about the giver of those gifts?

The gifts of God come with a challenge. We are tasked with coming to better understand what it is we believe. 

What gifts has God granted you in your life and what challenges do these gifts offer? What do these gifts tell us about the Giver himself?

Listen to the homily.
