Jesus said to the crowds, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.” (Jn 6:35-40)

It’s important to note that these words are addressed “to the crowds.” Although the church may rightly be concerned about who approaches the sacrament, the Lord doesn’t have that problem. The Lord invites everyone, not just a chosen few. The Lord invites those no one else would invite.
These reflections are a result of more than 40 years of ministry as a Roman Catholic priest. Most of these years I spent in the Diocese of Charlotte which covers Western North Carolina. Now I am retired, and live in Medellín, Colombia where I continue to serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Medellín.
