Let us seek Christ.

When we notice that someone is lost to us, we do everything we can to find them. We are mainly doing a great search when someone close to us, a friend, or a person we need, is lost.

Today’s Gospel also confirms this when he describes the event in the crowd: And when the group saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they went up into a boat and came to Capernaum, and there they sought Jesus, and when they found him, Jesus said to them: and I say unto you, Ye seek me not because ye have seen the signs; but because ye have eaten of the loaves, and have been filled. Ye shall not pursue after the meat of the Passover, but after the heart which is left for eternal life, which shall be given unto you by the Son of man ”(Jn 6:27).

We will understand these words only when we experience them and integrate them into the crowd of those who seek Jesus. We, too, are wandering people of God, hungry, thirsty, sluggish, and still restless, but God leads us out of our human security and leads us through a desert of life trials to bring us into his kingdom. The Lord Jesus rebukes them for seeking him only because they are satisfied. Doesn’t this remorse belong to us? Why do we seek the Lord Jesus? Is it to feed us with early things?

Although he owns many, today’s man has excellent gains, and we see that he is dissatisfied. Today’s man longs to be satisfied with something. Entertainment, sports, culture, science … But all this is not enough. Why? We can also say this: Are we not looking for Christ, the bread of eternal life, which is why He descended from heaven to nourish and heal our souls? If we are looking for him, it is wrong to come to Jesus at the altar and only beg for material bread, health, and physical satisfaction for ourselves and our children.
The focus of our efforts remains as with the people of the gospel in the material realm. We work and work from morning to evening to get and own something. Then we try to put and secure what we have. We pay close attention to health and use it all for a more extended period. At the same time, we realize that we are losing what we have gained every day as we approach death, and so our unrest and grief grow.
Food, clothes, and comfortable living are not enough for a person to live happily. Proof of this is the fact that we have gathered here today. Although we have different motives, one thing is sure we want to strengthen ourselves. Because if we, as Christians, do not desire to be filled with bread and wine – the Body and Blood of Christ, it will disappoint us.

After all, let’s look around and ask: Why are so many brothers and sisters missing on St. Mass? We would find a lot of answers in the form of excuses. The real reason is that they are not hungry for God. Many see the Church as suffering evil; others know the Church only when they need it. However, you come on a working day to strengthen yourself with the Eucharist, and this is proof that your life is more prosperous. Today, however, we accept Christ as those who despise him. Let us now put in the first place not the concern for the transient but the problem for the eternal. Let’s give up too much fear for tomorrow. This does not mean that we will stop working and fulfill our responsibilities at work and school … This does not mean that we should stop caring about what we eat.

Let’s just put God first and find that this will only add value, meaning, and purpose to our duties. Paul, the apostle, says on this subject that we should undress the older man and put on the new one. That means we have to break the falsehood of our lives. Today we must live a Christianity that gives the world something natural yet enriching. A Christian does not despise life and speech but only tries to live life and enjoy things in a way that serves him for eternal salvation. We favor progress, but one that leads to the right goal.

Let’s look at one girl. She is young; she wants to like the possibilities that the family she lives with gives her. He dresses tastefully. It doesn’t exaggerate. Every attentive boy notices that she is a modest girl who can appreciate things. She will meet an excellent future partner and mother for her children. Another girl would like to have everything. Not only modern but also tasteless. He wants to excel. The boys are courting her. But they wouldn’t want her for a wife. Why? Because he only thinks of himself. What if family, children, and worries come?

The world has lost something. The Church is also looking for old and new ways. But he wants us to find meaning and connection with God.
