Gospel : John 6:41-51
Bread of Life
“And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst…. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eats of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
(JESUS becomes our bread when we eat HIS body in the sacrament of the Eucharist. Through material means the believer participates in a heavenly reality and enters into communion with the risen CHRIST. The Church defines sacrament as something material that symbolizes and brings about a spiritual reality.)
