Following the glory of the Transfiguration, the disciples encounter a situation that reveals their lack of faith. May the Lord's example of the mustard seed inspire us to draw closer to Christ each and every day.

In the sixth chapter of John's Gospel Jesus says that he is the Bread of Life, and as we hear these words in the context of the New Testament and the early Church we come to the awareness that this bread - our reception of Holy Communion at Mass - is the Real Presence of Jesus Christ!
