Jesus Reveals Himself to be the Bread of Life.
People have had great difficulty understanding Jesus’ speech about the Bread of Life from the moment He uttered it up until
present day.
How can Jesus give us His flesh to eat and ask us to drink His blood? People felt disconcerted. Many of his followers who
had seen the miracles, good deeds and wonders of the Lord were confused even though they had watched as Jesus had multiplied the loaves and fish. That act alone made them think he was a great man; a king. But now He wants them to try and
go further and understand that they must work for the bread that gives eternal life and not for the material things that ultimately perish and disappear.
The folks in this crowd can’t understand so they stop following him. Others in the crowd close their hearts to his
message and abandon Jesus. They could not see the divinity of the Lord, and did not accept Him as their Messiah, or Savior.
I personally like the question Jesus asked the Twelve: “‘What about you, do you want to go away too?'
That is a question that has sounded in our hearts until today, when we are looking to ratify our faith, to proclaim to the
world that despite failing to give rational explanation about the Eucharist, the living Bread come down from
heaven, we proclaim with our hearts and we announce that we have seen with the eyes of the soul.
We should make Simon Peter’s proclamation of faith our own: "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life; we believe and know that you are the Holy One consecrated by God."
Fr. Alfonso
A SILENT SERMON
A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending services regularly, stopped going. After a few weeks, the
pastor decided to visit him. It was a chilly evening. The pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire.
Guessing the reason for his pastor’s visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace and
waited. The pastor made himself at home but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the flames
around the burning logs.
After some minutes, the pastor took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of
the hearth all alone. Then he sat back in his chair, still silent. The host watched all this in quiet contemplation. As the one
lone ember’s flame flickered and diminished, there was a momentary glow and then its fire was no more.
Soon it was cold and dead. Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting. The Pastor glanced at his watch and realized it was time to leave, he slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it back in the middle of the fire.
Immediately it began to glow, once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it.
As the pastor reached the door to leave, his host said with a tear running down his cheek, “Thank you so much for your visit
and especially for the fiery sermon. I shall be back in church next Sunday.” ~author unknown~

SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL:
In today’s Gospel, Jesus asks, “Do you also want to
leave?” We must ask ourselves if we really want to hear
the good news of His love for us and for others. Is the
word of God able to break into our consciousness,
change us and call us to hear the cries of the poor?
As you give your gift to the poor through the Society
of St. Vincent de Paul, in your heart you also will find
the good news of God’s love.
Food can be placed in the boxes in the Narthex. Clothing
can be dropped off at our location behind St. Ann’s which
is open to help the needy on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday from 12—2:30 PM.
For questions, call Judy at 863-427-3040.

After filling it out, please put it in the collection basket at
Mass or turn in to the Church Office. You may also register on-line. Automatic monthly mail service normally

your first month’s package upon receiving your registration request. If you have any questions, please feel free to
call the Church Office.
I’m no hero!
Each saint in the canon, like every hero in the Bible,
begins his or her vocation with an emphatic objection
to God’s call. Which makes perfect sense to most of us,
who would gladly echo Gideon’s response when summoned to be the next champion of his community. “I’m
no savior! Try next door.” It’s not false modesty on our
part. We know our limitations too well, so it helps to
keep this in mind: So does God. When God comes calling, with the invitation always comes the grace to fulfill
it.
We welcome you into
our Community of faith.
For information regarding RCIA please call the
Faith Formation Office
and speak to Sr. Josie.
Mr. & Mrs. Roger Wilcox won the 50/50
for $121.00. Remember: it takes $2.00
to play!
If you have baptized your child at Saint Ann
and not received a Baptismal Certificate,
please come by the Church Office and pick it
up.

Jesús Se Revela Como El Verdadero Pan de Vida
Grande dificultad para entender el discurso del Pan de Vida desde el momento que Jesús lo dijo hasta nuestros días. Como Jesús puede darnos a comer su carne y a beber su sangre? La gente se siente
desconcertada, muchos seguidores que habían visto los prodigios, obras y Milagros del Señor se
sienten confundidos, ellos vieron como multiplico los panes y los peces y eso los hizo pensar en un
gran hombre, en un rey. Pero ahora, Él quiere ir más lejos y desea hacerles entender que debemos
trabajar por el PAN que da VIDA ETERNA y no por las cosas materiales que perecen que desaparecen.
Quienes no pudieron entenderlo se fueron, quienes cerraron su Corazón a su mensaje, abandonaron
a Jesús, no pudieron ver la Divinidad del Señor, no lo aceptaron como su Mesías, como su Salvador.
A mí personalmente me gusta la pregunta de Jesús a los Doce: "¿También vosotros queréis marcharos?"
Que es una pregunta que suena en nuestro Corazón hasta hoy, que busca que nosotros ratifiquemos nuestra
fe, proclamemos al mundo que a pesar de no poder dar explicación RACIONAL acerca de la Eucaristía, EL PAN
VIVO BAJADO DEL CIELO, lo proclamamos con nuestros corazones y anunciamos que lo hemos contemplado
con los ojos del alma. La proclamación de fe de Simón Pedro la hacemos nuestra también: "Señor, ¿a quién
vamos a ir? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna; nosotros creemos y sabemos que tú eres el Santo consagrado
por Dios."
Fr. Alfonso
A Diferencia a Otras: ¿HAS OIDO HABLAR DEL PROYECTO MELQUISEDEC?
En el, hombres católicos se reúnen para orar acerca de sus vidas, escuchar la voz de Dios, y tomar en serio el responder a
Su llamado. El manual del Proyecto, "Para Salvar Mil Almas" por el Padre Bretttt Brannen, es la guía esencial para discernir la vocación al sacerdocio Católico.

San Vicente de Paul
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús preguntó a los Doce: “¿Quieren marcharse también ustedes?” Pedro le contestó: “Señor, ¿a quién iríamos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna. Nosotros creemos y sabemos que Tú eres
el Santo de Dios.” Dios no quiere que la gente padezca de hambre y viva en la pobreza, sino que reciban la buena
nueva de su amor. ¿Es la palabra de Dios capaz de romper nuestra conciencia, cambiarnos y hacernos escuchar
el grito de los menos afortunados? Su donación a la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul, es una demostración del
amor de Dios hacia los menos afortunados. Usted también puede ayudar trayendo donaciones de alimentos al
Nártex, y toda ropa donada puede dejarla en el edificio de San Vicente (detrás de Iglesia) los lunes, miércoles y
viernes de 12:00 -2:30 p.m. Gracias
