## Resource

"Bread for the Long Game: Seeking the Eternal Ends" is how I titled this reflection on the Gospel of St. John, focusing on the transition from physical needs to spiritual fulfillment. It highlights how Jesus used the multiplication of the loaves to teach followers to look beyond immediate satisfaction to eternal life. While humans often pursue earthly pleasures like food or money, these are ultimately signs pointing toward a supreme good found in God. By referencing the Samaritan woman and the bread of life, I encourage listeners to avoid shortsightedness and instead embrace a magnanimous faith. Ultimately, we need to heed the call for a deep commitment to believing in Christ as the true source of nourishment that endures forever.
