The gospel for today was about Jesus being the Bread that gives eternal life. The priest in his homily spoke of many advertisement that satisfy our momentary needs. None of them advertise that they give eternal life. Only Jesus gives eternal life.

Reading John 18 I came across how hard men's hearts can be. When they came to arrest Jesus, Jesus asked them, "Whom do you seek?" The men answered, "Jesus of Nazareth". It is interesting to note that they did not say, "We come to arrest you." In the other accounts of this scene, Judas kissed Jesus to identify Jesus from the others.
