Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?
Recordare, Iesu pie, Quod sum causa tuae viae: Ne me perdas illa die...

The Bread that lasts forever

"The day after Jesus fed the five thousand people, with five loaves and two fish, an even larger crowd followed him. He said to the people:

"'You are looking for me,
not because you have seen the signs,
but because you had all the bread you wanted to eat.
Do not work for food that goes bad.
Work for food that endures to eternal life,
which the Son of Man will give you...
'
(Jn. 6:26-27)

"This is his invitation to you also, irrespective of the way of life to which you are called. Our invitation... is to use our web-site as a help in discerning God's call in your life."

from the Vocations website of the Archdiocese of Dublin

The Dublin Vocations Centre has created a "mousemat" and "car sticker" (a.k.a., "mouse pad" and "bumper sticker") "based on the theme of Jesus' invitation to his disciples to work for the food that endures to eternal life. In an increasingly busy world, people increasingly want to be assured that the work they do, and the energy they spend, is directed towards something of lasting value."
