Sun News : Topless protesters attempt to disrupt pro-life rally, cry 'f--- your morals'

Sun News : Topless protesters attempt to disrupt pro-life rally, cry 'f--- your morals' Poor idiotic selfish woman! Is she 'commanding' God? What arrogance! Over and over again, there is little doubt that this 'fight' against life is nothing but a fight for selfishness, for the 'me', the 'I am all that matters'. How sad is the condition of these lost people, enslaved of their own ego, of the damned one behind them, the coward that dares not to look straight at God because he has no chance, when God is in his way. For the first time this year I had the opportunity to attend this great and very popular event. Sadly its popularity is forced by politicians hiding, as this woman does, behind their own interests, cowards in front of the truth, hiding from God. The event, as before has been a success, remarkable and clear. It was refreshing to see twenty members of parliament daring to openly talk for life. Of course it makes you wonder where the

Truly, I say to you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you

Gospel text ( Jn  15,1-8) :  The Jews were arguing among themselves, «How can this man give us flesh to eat?». So Jesus replied, «Truly, I say to you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood live with eternal life and I will raise him up on the last day. My flesh is really  food  and my blood is drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood, live in me and I in them. Just as the Father, who is life, sent me and I have life from the Father, so whoever eats me will have life from me. This is the bread which came from heaven; unlike that of your ancestors, who ate and later died. Those who eat this bread will live forever». Jesus spoke in this way in Capernaum when he taught them in the synagogue.

I am the living bread which has come from heaven

Gospel  text  ( Jn  6,44-51) :  Jesus addressed the crowd, «No one can come to me unless he is drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise him up on the last day. It has been written in the Prophets: They shall all be taught by God. So whoever listens and learns from the Father comes to me. For no one has seen the Father except the One who comes from God; He has seen the Father. Truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Though your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, they died. But here you have the bread which comes from heaven so that you may  eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which has come from heaven; whoever eats of this bread will live forever. The bread I shall give is my flesh and I will give it for the life of the world».

«Whoever comes to me shall never be hungry»

Gospel text ( Jn  6,35-40) :  Jesus said to the crowds, «I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall never be hungry, and whoever believes in me shall never be thirsty. Nevertheless, as I said, you refuse to believe, even when you have seen. Yet, all that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me, I shall not turn away. For I have come from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of the One who sent me. And the will of him who sent me is that I lose nothing of what He has given me, but instead that I raise it up on the last day. This is the will of the Father, that whoever sees the Son and believes in him shall live with eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day».

Work (…) for the lasting food which gives eternal life

Gospel text ( Jn  6,22-29) :  After Jesus had fed the five thousand, his disciples saw him walking on the water. Next day the  people  who had stayed on the other side realized that only one boat had been there and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples; rather, the disciples had gone away alone. Bigger boats from Tiberias came near the place where all these people had eaten the bread. When they saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.  When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, «Master, when did you come here?». Jesus answered, «Truly, I say to you, you look for me, not because you have seen through the signs, but because you ate bread and were satisfied. Work then, not for perishable  food , but for the lasting food which gives eternal life. The Son of Man will give it to you, for he is the one the Father has marked». Then the Jews asked him, «What shall we do? What are

That very same day, the first day after the sabbath

Gospel text ( Lc  24,13-35) :  That very same day, the first day after the sabbath, two of them were going to Emmaus, a village seven miles from Jerusalem, and they talked about what had happened. While they were talking and wondering, Jesus came up and walked with them, but their eyes were held and they did not recognize him.  He asked, «What is this you are talking about?». The two stood still, looking sad. Then one named Cleophas answered, «Why, it seems you are the only traveller in Jerusalem who doesn't know what has happened there these past few days». And He asked, «What is it?». They replied, «It is about Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet, you know, mighty in word and deed before God and the  people . But the chief priests and our rulers sentenced him to death. They handed him over to be crucified. We had hoped that he would redeem Israel. It is now the third day since all this took place. It is true that some women of our group have disturbed us. When they went to th
