Presentation transcript:

The nature of our desires 1. God put within us the desire to be satisfied and sustained eternally.

The nature of our desires 2.Our desires are weak and misguided. Jesus answered them “Truly, Truly I say to you, you are seeking me not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.” Jn. 6:26

“It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong but too weak. We are half hearted creatures fooling about with drink and sex and ambition while infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased.” C.S. Lewis

The nature of our desires 3. Only Jesus the Bread of Life satisfies and sustains us eternally. “ I am the living bread that came down from heaven, If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh” Jn. 6:51
