John 6: 60-69 Simon Peter confesses his faith that Jesus alone has the words of the eternal life

For our Gospel today we hear the conclusion of the “Bread of Life discourse” in the sixth chapter of John’s Gospel. In the preceding verses, which we have heard proclaimed in our liturgy over the past few weeks, we have heard Jesus explain that he is the Bread of Life, given so that those who believe may have eternal life. This discourse follows the miracle in which Jesus fed more than five thousand people with five barley loaves and two fish. As Jesus has been teaching these things, John’s Gospel describes a murmuring crowd unable to accept Jesus’ words. In today’s Gospel, the crowd has dwindled in number, and John no longer references them, or the Jews. Instead John describes the questioning of those considered to be Jesus’ own disciples.

Today’s Gospel first records the response of those in the crowd who are de-scribed as Jesus’ disciples. Just as the larger crowd had struggled with Jesus’ teaching, these disciples also cannot accept Jesus’ words. Jesus is said to know about their murmuring. He responds by acknowledging their unbelief and by reit-erating that only those chosen by the Father will follow Jesus to the end. John’s Gospel reports that many of those who had been Jesus’ disciples ceased to follow him at this point. The number of people following Jesus dwindled from a crowd of more than 5,000 to only 12 people. And it is to these Twelve that Jesus now turns his attention.

Simon Peter’s response to Jesus’ question as to whether those closest to him will also leave, reminds us of the reports of Peter’s confession of faith in the Synoptic Gospels. Peter announces, on behalf of all the Twelve, that they have come to believe all that Jesus has taught about himself: Jesus is the one from God in whom they have found the path to eternal life.

This conclusion of the Bread of Life discourse focuses on personal faith in the life

of Christian discipleship. Each person must make his or her own judgment about

who Jesus is and in doing so determine the way of life that he or she will follow.

God’s grace invites us to be Jesus’ disciples, but each person must respond to the

grace of God and confess as his or her own the belief that Jesus is the one from

God. This faith then commits us to the path of life, leading us to eternal life.

Last Week’s Question: Just outside of the Cathedral

of Our Lady of Peace in Honolulu is the remainder of the trunk of a very special tree. What was it and why is it spe-cial, not only in the history of the Church in Hawaii, but in the history of Hawaii as well?

This Week’s Question: Who is the patron saint of the Inter-

net?

Ask...The Stewards! In this week's Gospel reading, many of Jesus' own disciples cannot ac-cept His teachings and return to their former way of life...abandoning Christ altogether. Jesus turns to the Apostles and asks them to choose with the question, "Do you also want to leave?" Peter speaks up for the Twelve responding, "Master, to Whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."

Peter's honest answer to the choice Jesus poses shows us a way to stay true to the stewardship way of life. Peter knows he doesn't have all the answers . And, so, he humbly chooses to rely on God.

This WEEK'S Stewardship Challenge: There are so many stewardship themes in our readings this weekend, but they boil down to this: they challenge us to choose whom we will serve. Will we choose God and others, or ourselves? When the going gets tough, we can keep going by relying on God and trusting more deeply in Him. Remembering bless-ings and relying on Him...these are two keys to a beautiful way of life.

Saint Anthony of Padua....pray for us.

Answer: In 1828, Fr. Alexis Bachelot, who established the first perma-

nent Catholic mission in the Kingdom of Hawaii, planted a small handful of seeds that he had brought from the King’s Garden in Versailles, France, near the site of the current Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace. The tree that grew there was an algaroba tree, but the Hawaiian people in the area referred to it as a “kiawe” tree, and within a few short years, other kiawe trees had sprouted or were planted from the shoots of that single tree. Today, kiawe trees are found all over the State. The stump of that original kiawe tree still stands next to the Cathedral.
