The Bread of Life in a Time of Struggle

The Bread of Life in a Time of Struggle
The Homily highlights the mysterious growth of the Church and Christian faith, . . .
. . . especially through suffering and persecution. It begins by recalling how the Sanhedrin believed killing Jesus would end His movement, unaware that His resurrection would spark the beginning of Christianity. Similarly, early Christians, even when persecuted, chose to remain faithful, leading to the spread of the gospel.
The message emphasizes that challenges and suffering, when seen through the lens of faith, can deepen belief and spread hope. Citing the example of saints like Stephen and the teachings of Jesus, particularly His identity as the “Bread of Life,” the Homily concludes with a call to trust in God’s plan during trials, affirming that God is always in control and working through our struggles for a greater purpose.
