READ
John 6:51, 53-57, 63, 68-69
I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.
Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
REFLECT
Jesus is the living bread from heaven. The bread he gives is his flesh. Anyone who eats the bread of His flesh and blood will live forever, abide in Him, and have eternal life.
If you do not eat the flesh of Jesus you do not have life in you. Jesus’ flesh and blood is indeed true food and drink.
The Spirit gives life, the words Jesus has spoken is life and gives you life to hear and understand, do not reject it.
Jesus is Lord and no one else has the words of eternal life. Believe and know the Christ, the Son of the Living God wants to feed you His flesh and blood so you can have eternal life and abide in Him and him in you.
PRAY
Jesus, I believe you. I believe and know you are the Christ and that if I eat the Eucharist I have eternal life and abide in you and you in me. If I do not eat the Eucharist I do not have eternal life in me. I may have some grace to be free of sin and know about you but I have no eternal life yet. I do not want to reject the Eucharist, you came to give me bread from heaven to sustain my journey. I must believe you! You have the Words of eternal life. The Spirit gives me life, He makes me see and understand Your Word as Truth. Thank you for loving me and coming down to feed me. Help me love you and tell the world of this amazing love! Amen.
