What sign can you do?

Posted by on
John 6:30-35 If I wasn't in the same boat as these sinners following Jesus I would probably be laughing right in their face. I often wonder how Jesus kept from rolling on the grass laughing at what some people do. Today we hear the crowd ask Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?..." Is this not the same crowd who in verse 2 we are told - "followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick ."? Are these not the same people who in verse 14 " when they saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."? Yet still they seek a sign. However, they are not seeking a sign so that they might believe, they are wanting to be fed. Jesus worked a "sign" with the loaves and the fishes and now they want Him to do it again. Wisely, Jesus is using their bellies to get to their hearts; He is using earthly things to move them,

Pope John Paul II Catholic School in NE Minneapolis is the best because it catechizes the students in the fullness the faith well with weekly Mass plus individual monthly Mass for each class, weekly Rosary, multi-age classes (students attend the level of education they are ready for in each subject), they have many students from immigrant families and offer a diverse environment built upon respect, and teach their students responsibility and how to give back to the community.
Students who would get 'lost in the cracks' at bigger schools do well here and are well prepared for high school.

As a parent of a student from Garces Memorial Hg School in Bakersfield, California let me comment. In todays economy to put your child in private education is a sacrafice, to have your child attend Garces Memorial High School in Bakersfield is a blessing. We are blessed to have a school that holds on to creed's of Integrity, Courage of Faith, Respect and Compassion. This Catholic Hg school prepares college ready students of the highest degree. I am so thankful that my daughter has been a part of this 65 year old tradition of Catholic Education.

I think our Pre-School PSR Program at St. Michael's in Worthington is the best as it is one of the only pre-school programs in the Columbus area. We teach children from age 3 yrs to Kindergarten basics about God, Jesus, the Bible, the Rosary, and the parts of the Mass. We even have music twice a month and sing all the Bible songs we all grew up singing. Thanks and good luck to all! Debbie Joyce
