Jesus a great teacher and leader often taught using parables and explained His teaching for the faithful when they could not understand or misunderstood , why do you think He does not do so here? Was this teaching even a parable? A simple truth which separates men, yet completes him if he so chooses to accept.

Ours is never a blind faith, when we walk in the light and live by the Word made flesh. Jesus gives of Himself wholly to us so that we may live and live life to the fullest. Amen

Glory, honour and praise to our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ! Amen

Gospel John 6:52–59

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.” These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. Psalm 42:7

Do you hear our heavenly Father calling unto you? My sons, my daughters in your brokenness I love you still and more. My greatest gift of love has been given to you, that you shall learn my ways and through Him you will have life eternal. Listen to Him.

When we unite our wills with that of God our Father, only then can we listen to His call.

Jesus our Lord and saviour shares this great mystery of love with us, “I am the bread of life.  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.”  Let us reflect deeply on this…..

For all those willing to go deeper in understanding a little more on the Eucharist, I invite you to read the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Benedict XVI Sacramentum Caritatis and Blessed Pope John Paul II’s Encyclical Letter Ecclesia De Eucharistia links are as follows :-http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/apost_exhortations/documents/hf_ben-xvi_exh_20070222_sacramentum-caritatis_en.html  And http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/special_features/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_20030417_ecclesia_eucharistia_en.html

Today’s Gospel John 6:44–51

Jesus said to the crowds: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day. It is written in the prophets: They shall all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. 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.”
