Jesus, The Bread of Life

"I am telling you the truth: he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live for ever. The bread that I will give him is my flesh, which I give so that the world may live."
John 6:47‭-‬48‭, ‬51 GNBDK

Reflection:
Our bodies need food for nourishment and so does the soul require its nourishment too. For food is fuel and God knows our every need, be it physical or spiritual. Which is why he give us the Holy Eucharist. Through it we participate in perfect worship in union with all the saints and angels. It is through humble repentance and seeking Gods mercy as we confess that we receive forgiveness for our sins. We offer all we have to God and it is only in the Eucharist that we eat the body of Christ, which is nourishment to our bodies and soul.

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father draws you to his son, the word made flesh in Christ Jesus. As you eat of this bread from heaven may it nourish you; mind, body and soul. And may his Holy Spirit always help you discern the truth. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
