Pope Francis: "Jesus is the bread of life" [View all]

http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2015/08/02/pope_francis_jesus_is_the_bread_of_life/1162526

Jesus invites us – the Pope continued – to be open to a perspective which is not only that of daily preoccupation and material needs; Jesus speaks to us of a different kind of food, food which is not corruptible and that we must search for and welcome into our lives.

He exhorts us not to work for food that perishes but “for the food that endures for eternal life which the Son of Man will give us” he said.

With these words – Pope Francis continued – He wants us to understand that beyond a physical hunger, man has a different kind of hunger – “we all have this hunger” – a more important kind of hunger that cannot be satisfied with ordinary food.

It is the hunger for life - the hunger for eternity - that only He can satisfy because He is the bread of life” he said.


It is in these moments that you can see that despite the happy interfaithy talk, each religion still believes that it and it alone is unique and "true."
