Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B)

St. John 6.41-51: "I am the bread of life. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh".

"All people desire to leave a lasting mark. But what endures? Money does not. Even buildings do not, nor books. After a certain time longer or shorter, all these things disappear. The only thing that lasts forever is the human soul, the human person created by god for eternity" (Pope Benedict XVI).
