The first reading and the Gospel are at opposite ends of how people respond to the call of faith.  In the first reading Peter's prayer in the name of Jesus restores a dead woman, Tabitha, to life; in the Gospel the invitation of the Lord to eat his body and drink his blood causes many to walk away.  It begs the question: How's your faith?  Is it vibrant or feeble, building others up or filled with doubts?
