Seven $mes in the gospel of John, Jesus makes an “I am” statement. 1. Bread: “I am the bread of life; those who come to me will never be hungry.” John 6:35 2. Light: “I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness.” John 8:12 3. Gate: “I am the gate. Those who come in by me will be saved; they will come in and go out and find pasture.” John 10:9 4. Good Shepherd: “I am the good shepherd, who is willing to die for the sheep.” John 10:11 5. Resurrec$on and Life: “I am the resurrec$on and the life. Those who believe in me will live, even though they die.” John 11:25 6. Way, Truth, Life: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except by me.” John 14:6 7. True vine: “I am the real vine, and My Father is the gardener.” John

15:1 Here, in the sixth chapter of John, Jesus said, "I am the Living bread". John 6:51. What does this mean for us today? By equa$ng himself with Bread ….and Life, I say 1. Only Jesus brings us eternal life. 2. [Very important] Jesus is God. And only God can grant eternal life. By coming to Jesus, believing in Jesus and receiving Jesus, he will sa$s-fy our physical and spiritual hunger and thirst. It is not a surprise when Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that God has placed the desire for eternity in our hearts. Humanity was made to be with God. And, God wants us to be with him.

St. Thomas is blessed to offer parishioners and friends the opportunity to adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament 24 hours a day in our chapel. Come by and spend $me with Jesus for an

hour. “ The best �me you will spend on Earth”

Mother Teresa Santo Tomas ofrece una bendición a los

feligreses y amigos la oportunidad de adorer a Jesus Sacramentado las 24

horas al día en nuestra capilla. Vengan y pasen una hora con Jesus.

“El mejor �empo que pasarás en la Tierra”

Madre Teresa

Siete veces en el evangelio de Juan, Jesús hace una declaración "Yo soy". 1. Pan: "Yo soy el pan de vida; los que vienen a mí, no tendrá hambre. "Juan 6:35 2. Luz: "Yo soy la luz del mundo; el que me sigue tendrá la luz de la vida y nunca andará en $nieblas. "Juan 8:12 3. Puerta: "Yo soy la puerta. Los que vienen de por mí, será salvo; van a entrar y salir y encontrará pasto "Juan 10: 9. 4. Buen Pastor: "Yo soy el buen pastor, que está dispuesto a morir por las ovejas." Juan 10:11 5. Resurrección y la Vida: "Yo soy la resurrección y la vida. Aquellos que creen en mí vivirá, aunque muera. "Juan 11:25 6. Camino, la Verdad, la Vida: "Yo soy el camino, y la verdad, y la vida; Nadie va al Padre sino por mí "Juan 14: 6 7. La verdadera vid: "Yo soy la vid verdadera, y mi Padre es el labrador." Juan 15: 1 En el sexto capítulo de Juan, Jesús una vez más dice: "Yo soy el pan de Vi-da". Juan 6:51. ¿Qué significa esto para nosotros hoy? Compara a sí mismo con el pan... y la vida, yo digo 1. Sólo Jesús nos trae la vida eterna. 2. [Muy importante] Jesús es Dios, y sólo Dios puede concedernos la vida eterna. Al venir a Jesús, creer en Jesús y recibir a Jesús, Él no sa$sface nuestra ham-

bre Wsica y espiritual y la sed. No es una sorpresa cuando Eclesiastés 3:11

dice que Dios ha puesto el deseo de la eternidad en nuestros corazones. La

humanidad se hizo para estar con Dios, y Dios quiere que estemos con Él.

God Is Calling You to a Deeper Rela9onship with Him

If we consider that God is the Divine Bridegroom and the Church is his Bride, then the prophets can be seen as “spiritual marriage counselors.” They afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, calling us to return to our covenant rela$onship with God. They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers of sin, and announce the blessings of faithfulness. Their prophe$c words speak to us even today, as they draw us closer to our heavenly Bridegroom. St. Thomas More will begin The Prophets: Messengers of God’s

Mercy Study, three $mes each week beginning Monday September

14th at 7pm, Wednesday Sep.16th at 10 am and Thursday Sep.

17th at 7pm. The 10 week study will end the week prior to Thanks-

giving. For more informa$on or to register for the study visit the

registra$on table ager Mass or Deacon Ed Gosline in the parish

office (713-729-0221). I encourage you to join us. You will find it

enriching and inspira$onal.

Are you a music lover who wants to share with others the love of singing? Music heals, inspires and uplifts us spiritually, helping us feel closer to God and to each other.
