Draw us toward you May 4

Prayer
Father, draw us toward you in our belief. Send us into the desert and give us Living Bread and Living Water to sustain us. Help us to sing your praises and teach your Word to everyone we encounter through you son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

“I am the bread of life.” John 6:48

Today, we have a continuation of the Bread of Life discourse by Jesus in the Gospel and a reading about the living water and baptism from Acts. When we eat this bread and drink the living water, we will have eternal life.

So what are we to do with eternal life? Get up. Head to the desert! Proclaim the Good News. Let us set out on this journey with the Good News as our guide to teach it to all we encounter.

Action

This year SOME will have the Empty Bowls Soup Supper to support it’s meal programs for the hungry and homeless. The event will be held at St. Anthony's Catholic Church (3301 Glen Carlyn Road, Falls Church, Va.) May 19th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

For a donation of $15.00 at the door, you can select a handmade, original bowl to fill with soup. Once the meal is finished, the bowl is yours to keep. It is a powerful reminder that many among us do not have enough to eat on a daily basis.

There will be a program that evening around 7:15.
