……… Whoever Eats This Bread Will Live Forever.
The Jews had trouble accepting Jesus’ words – How could He be the spiritual food come down from Heaven?
They knew His earthly Father, His mother, where He lived, what He did… He seemed like one of them.
Jesus was about to reveal one of the central mysteries of our faith to His followers.
It was a mystery so difficult to understand and accept that He would lose some of His followers that day.
Do you accept the mystery of the real presence of Jesus in the gift of the Eucharist?
What does it mean to you?
