A time of Lexio devena for the discerning heart.

Monday of the third week of Eastertide.

As you begin, take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

For the next few moments, surrender all the cares and concerns of this stay to the Lord.

Say slowly from your heart, Jesus, I trust in heard deep within your heart.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John, chapter 6 verses 22 through 29.

After Jesus had fed the 5,000, his disciples saw him walking on the water.

Next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side saw that only one boat had been there

and that Jesus had not gotten into the boat with his disciples, but that the disciples had set

off by themselves. Other boats, however, had put in from Tiberius near the place where the bread had been eaten.

When the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there,

they got into those boats and crossed to Copernum to look for Jesus.

When they found him on the other side, they said to him,

Rabbi, when did you come here? Jesus answered, I tell you most solemnly, you are not looking for me

because you have seen the signs, but because you all had the bread you wanted to eat.

Do not work for food that cannot last, but work for food that endures to eternal life.

The kind of food the Son of Man is offering you, for on Him the Father, God himself, has

set his seal.

They said to him, what must we do if we are to do the works that God wants?

Jesus gave them this answer. This is working for God. You must believe in the one he has sent. What word made this passage come alive for you?

What word made this passage come alive for you?

What did you sense the Lord an opportunity to speak to you.
