Today the gospel from St. John Chapter Six introduces us to the Eucharistic Discourse of Jesus. Let us follow in a special way the gospels these weekdays in the mass. Jesus introduces the mystery of his Body and Blood via this miracle in Galilee, along the shores of the nearby lake. He begins using bread and fish to make a miracle of multiplying them to feed thousands of people. He makes sure we catch this point, i.e., God feeds his people. That is what the Holy Eucharist is all about, namely, God feeds his people the Bread of Life.
