John 6:44-51
No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him. And I will raise him up in the last day. It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh forth me. Not that any man hath seen the Father: but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say unto you: He that believeth in me hath everlasting life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the desert: and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man eat of it, he may not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
Jesus teaches that faith itself is a gift made possible by God’s grace. The Father draws people toward Christ, inviting them into a relationship of trust and love. This Gospel points to the Eucharist as the source of spiritual life and strength. We are reminded that God is always at work, calling us closer to Himself. By responding generously to His invitation, we experience the nourishment and hope that only Christ can provide.
