Fr Paul reads from the Gospel of John (6: 35-40) in which Jesus tells his disciples, ‘I am the bread of life, whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst’.

This Gospel makes it clear it is not about eating the bread of life just like they ate the bread, the manna from heaven with Moses and the Israelites in the desert; no, this is more about the simple question about believing. Fr Paul says today we are challenged with that question, which has been around forever – Do I believe?
