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.” (John 6:51 NABRE)
The words of Jesus at the Last Supper remind us that he is the one who came to reunite us with God. He came from heaven and has returned there. He links us with what is eternal and his coming gives us the promise of eternal life.
We meditate on the utter mystery of such things, though we choose faith. We decide to believe. We take these things to be true based on many evidences from history as well as our own intuition and experience. May the Holy Spirit of God continue to enlighten us so that we remain firm in our faith despite changing circumstances in this life.
Today, on this Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), I will continue to pray the Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (it is day four, but you can start anytime).
Sister Marie De Mandat-Grancey, by whom we whom we have what has been called a little piece of heaven on earth called Mary's House in Ephesus," and whose cause for sainthood has been received by the Vatican, pray for us.
