BREAD SCENE 4 - He gave me bread to eat.

The disciples now turn their thoughts to the feeding of the 5000

John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Here is the music to the song

He gave me bread to eat

And fish so neat

A picnic upon the hillside, a treat.

I listened to his word,

The greatest heard,

That he is the life giving bread.

Five thousand people on that hillside fed,

From two small fishes and five loves of bread.

And yet, you know, there was still some to spare

Twelve baskets full, shows how he cared,

Far greater food for us on which to feed,

He can supply, yes, even all our needs.

This soul-bread surely gives us life indeed;

Just listen to him and take heed.

Farmers everywhere provide bread for all humanity, but it is Christ alone who is the bread of life...Even if all the physical hunger of the world were satisfied, even if everyone who is hungry were fed by his or her own labor or by the generosity of others, the deepest hunger of man would still exist...Therefore, I say, Come, all of you, to Christ. He is the bread of life. Come to Christ and you will never be hungry again.

Pope John Paul II
