Let’s look for Christ

When we notice that someone has lost us, we do everything we can to find them. Especially when we do a great search, when we have lost someone close to us, a friend or a person we need.

Today’s Gospel also confirms this when he describes the event in the crowd: And when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they went 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 signs, but because ye have eaten of the loaves, and have been filled. Ye shall not pursue after the past thing, but the food which is left for everlasting life, which shall be given unto you the Son of man ”(Jn 6:27).

We will understand these words only when we experience them when incorporated into the crowd of those who seek Jesus. We, too, are wandering people of God; hungry, thirsty, grumpy, and still restless, but God leads us out of our human certainties and leads us through the wilderness 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 saturate us with early things?

Although he owns many, today’s man has great 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, who therefore descended from heaven to nourish and heal our souls? If we are looking for him, if we come to Jesus at the altar, and only to beg for material bread, health, physical satisfaction for ourselves and our children, it is wrong.
The focus of our efforts remains 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 together and ensure what we have. We pay close attention to health so that we can have and use it all for longer. 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 sorrow grow.
To live happily, food, clothes, and comfortable living are not enough. Proof of this is the fact that we have gathered here today. Although we have different motives, one thing is certain that 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 be a disappointment.

After all, let’s look around and ask: Why are so many brothers and sisters missing on St. Mass? We would find many 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 richer. Today, however, we will accept Christ even as those who despise him. Let us now put in the first place not the concern for the transient, but the concern for the eternal. Let’s give up too much fear for tomorrow. This does not mean that we will stop working, fulfill our responsibilities at work, at 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 responsibilities. The apostle Paul says that we should undress the older man and put on the new one on this subject. That means we have to break the falsehood of our lives. Today we must live a Christianity that gives the world something natural, something natural, yet enriching. The Christian does not despise life, words but only tries to live life in such a way and enjoy things to serve him for eternal salvation. We are in favor of 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 in 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 a good future partner and mother for her children. Another girl wants 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 thinks only of himself. What if family, children, worries come? The world has lost something. Even the Church is looking for new ways that are actually old. But he wants us to find meaning and connection with God.
