Focus on Jesus and not on the sign

Today's readings invite each of us to focus on Christ whom the signs of mana are pointing at. The mana was not the end, but Christ, who is living bread in the Eucharist. We should be able to seek the Giver more than the gift. When our prayers go unanswered or signs do not appear, it is precisely in those moments that faith matures. Like the psalmist and Stephen, we learn to entrust our spirit into God's hands, finding joy not in what we see, but in Whom we trust. Seeking Christ Himself, rather than merely His signs, is the mark of a mature and authentic faith.

Lord, into your hand, I command my spirit.
