“Last Sunday’s Gospel began with the Jews argued among themselves because they did not understand how Jesus could give his flesh
for people to eat. This Sunday’s Gospel opens with the disciples murmuring about how hard Jesus’ saying about ea4ng his flesh and
drinking his Blood to have life within them is. Some disciples would return to their previous life and others would remain followers of
Jesus. Jesus’ ques4on to the Twelve about whether they also want to leave parallels Joshua’s ques4ons to the tribes of Israel. Simon
Peter’s corresponds to Joshua’s in that it is an affirma4on of faith. He believes that Jesus has the words of eternal life.”

Peanut BuDer from Heaven Our parish is hos4ng a Peanut Bu8er
from Heaven food drive during the month of August to benefit the
Southwestern Virginia Second Harvest Food Bank. Peanut bu8er is
a greatly needed item that is seldom donated, but oOen requested.
It may be hard to understand that something as simple as a jar of
peanut bu8er can make a difference, but consider this; peanut
bu8er is a great source of protein, sa4sfies hunger, stretches gro-
cery dollars and most children and the elderly love peanut bu8er.
Dona4ons may be leO in the box outside the office.
