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


El alimento que permanece para la vida eterna

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 the works that God wants us to do?». And Jesus answered them, «The work God wants is this: that you believe in the One whom God has sent».

  A note to Helena Jaczek, MP from Markham. There must be serious worries that an election will happen very soon rather than later. Thanks God for His infinite mercy. Our people is suffering long enough under the yoke of the Liberal/NDP coalition. Since all the destruction you fostered and promoted, yes, you included. Or you think for a moment we are going to see you somewhere outside the circle of death that suffocates Canada?  Oh! But you are focused on Ukraine, and the pandemic ad what else, of course, the climate change, all of which are secondary to the freedom the people needs to enjoy, because God created us all, each and everyone of us free, with free will and with the ability to think, grow and prosper on our own, all suppressed by your government. Have you ever for a moment stopped to think about the suffering of the people?  Now you want to display yourself as a hard working individual ready to work… Is not that a bit, no, a lot, hypocritical? Oops. Are you off...

Thoughts about fear and faith

  Heretic heralds or heralds of the heretic. What is it? How did we get here? Somehow at some point in relative recent history, the world has been transformed to be a vehicle of fear. Fear has been instituted as the motive of human existence. Forgetting what we are and where we proceed from, and even the truth, the foundation of justice, we’ve been transformed onto irrational animals following ignorance, deception and confusion, stampeding at the existence of any noise, anyone whom without concept or science behind, just tell us to go to destruction and we obey, without questioning or even thinking or reflexion.  God, the one and only living One, our creator, to His image and likeness, since day one, when man ad woman were created, has been looking for us, individually and as a group, always revealing to us, putting before us evidence with clarity. And we have just drifted away from Him pushed or inspired by our own selfishness and ambitions, our greed, since that time describ...

Sexually active girl's parents fined (original title in Sun Media)

From: Cesar Fernandez-Stoll [CesarFStoll@gmail.com] Sent: December 11, 2010 9:08 AM To: 'tony.blais@sunmedia.ca' Cc: 'pm@pm.gc.ca'; 'HarpeS@parl.gc.ca'; 'IgnatM@parl.gc.ca' Subject: Sexually active girl's parents fined Dear Tony. Having received the article enclosed below, I’d like to volunteer, humbly, some comments.   It seems to me that of any time of the year, this article marks precisely what we witness during the time of advent, not because of the hope that advent brings us with the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but which John the Baptist and Elijah, as people that remained loyal to God refusing to follows the state just because it is the state but because it went away from the law of God.
