Jesus said to them, “I am telling you the truth: if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves. This, then, is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread that your ancestors ate. They later died, but those who eat this bread will live for ever.”
John 6:53, 58 GNBDK
Reflection:
When you see a cute little baby, what you do feel? The general tendency is to 'bite the baby,' off course not in a cannibalistic way. Perhaps it's way we don't fully comprehend as an expression, but we are trying to consume. And we do this because consummation makes us one. So what does Jesus imply when he says eat my body and drink my blood? Isn't it an invitation for us to be one with him in the ultimate expression of love. And how do we accept this invite? Do we even believe in his body and blood?
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to open your hearts to his son Jesus who gives himself to you; body and blood, soul and divinity. May you be led by his Holy Spirit to the understanding of this consummation and the fullness of life. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
