Your word Lord, are Spirit and life.

"The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life."
(John 6:63 NLT)

The Holy Spirit gives us life through the Eucharist.  The Eucharist is the Real Flesh, the Real Blood, the Real Presence of Jesus the Christ.

"When His disciples heard this, many of them said, This is a hard and difficult and strange saying (an offensive and unbearable message). Who can stand to hear it? [Who can be expected to listen to such teaching?]"  (John 6:60 AMP)

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me and I in him.

 “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."  (John 6: 52 -  56 NABRE)

The Eucharist is the medicine of immortality.  (St Ignatius of Antioch)
