20TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME. I AM THE LIVING BREAD!
I AM THE LIVING BREAD.
"Jesus said to the Jewish crowds: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
"The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
"Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
"For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
"Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.” (John 6: 51 - 58).
In the Bread of life Discourse, Jesus affirms strongly that He is the Bread of life. He stressed the necessity of eating Him in order to have eternal life.
The Bread of life is the most precious Eucharist: the source, center and summit of the life of the Church.
"The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease." (CCC 1380).
Jesus Christ is everyday inviting everyone to come to the Eucharist. "Come and eat bread without money." (Cf Isaiah 55: 1 - 2). The more we respond to this invitation, the more we experience the salvation Jesus Christ won for us.
The Eucharist brings us immense peace. Do you lack peace of soul? Then go often to the Eucharist. The Prince of Peace is waiting to heal your heart and mind of fears, worries and doubts. He will heal you and immerse you in peace. When you cannot receive Jesus physically, make a Spiritual Communion. You will be blessed.
Are you hungry for the Eucharist? How strong is your faith in the Real Presence?
#1 In Holy Communion, the Real Presence of Jesus Christ is promised 100 %.
#2 In the Tabernacle of the Blessed Sacrament, Jesus Christ is present 100%.
#3 Jesus Christ is present in the Believer in the state of grace 100%. You may call this Your Real Presence in me or you: the Sacrament of the Present Moment.
The mode of Christ's presence in the above three forms is unique and very real. The whole of Jesus is present in each of these modes.
Let us thank Jesus Christ our Lord for the Gift of His abundant Presence. Thank You Jesus. Thank You Jesus. Amen.
The Eucharist is Jesus-Emmanuel. God is with us in this Sacrament. Come receive him, adore him, This is Jesus, our Lord. Blessed are those who are invited to the Supper of the Lord.
