what can you do

Acts 7:51-8:1; John 6:30-35

What can you do?

The question posed by the crowd in today's Gospel to Jesus, 
"What can you do?"  
It is the same question posed by the crowds today.  
Every one wants concrete visual proof that Jesus is Lord. 
Every one wants a reason to believe, however, most will settle for a reason not to believe. 

"What can you do?"

The answer to the question has echoed through the centuries for 2000 years, the joy of such an answer continually overwhelms.  The answer is in two parts: He is risen and he gives the Eucharist. 

Every time we celebrate mass, we encounter the answer to the question: "what can you do?" Jesus simply responds, "Eucharist."

What else is there.  
The problem with our current society is they look for the uncertain and lose sight of what is most certain.  

The question, "what can you do?" reaches its climax as the priest prays the words, "this is my body, this is my blood."  

Look again, see what is most certain, and your life will never be the same; go head and be wowed by the answer.
