Friends of the Rosary,

Today, on the Memorial Day of St. George, the Gospel presents the reading from John 6:44–51, reflecting the heavenly origin of the Bread of Life and inviting us not to seek passing satisfaction but divine communion.

Only Christ satisfies the deepest longing of the human heart.

As St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, “Unlike manna, which sustained earthly life, Christ gives eternal life.”

In this Gospel, we see Christ offering Himself as healing and life for the soul.

Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever believes has eternal life.
I am the bread of life.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
this is the bread that comes down from heaven
so that one may eat it and not die.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give
is my Flesh for the life of the world."

Today, as a spiritual application, we meditate on the Eucharist as heaven touching earth.

St. Ignatius of Antioch called the Eucharist “the medicine of immortality.”

Alleluia! Christ is Risen!

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
