The 18th Sunday of the Year
Ex 16:2-4 & 12-15; Eph 4:17 & 20-24; Jn 6:24-35 (Year B)
"He rained down manna for their food and gave them the bread from heaven. Mere men ate the bread of angels.”
The story of the manna that sustained the starving tribes of Israel as they fled the enslavement of Egypt was remembered from generation to generation. Its retelling posed a question that all must answer, be they rich or poor, starving or satisfied. For what do we hunger, and where does that hunger lead us?”
