The Bread that I Shall Give is my Flesh for the Life of the World
Published 1 year ago
Description
We continue with John Chapter 6 today in the gospel. We have our dear Lord reveal to us for the first time that the bread of life He was offering to the Jews was His very own Flesh. What that means remains to be seen in the next installments of this text from chapter 6 of St. John's gospel. The initial point of the text of today's gospel, however, lets us know the dynamics involved in this matter. Jesus affirms the first step in getting us involved with God in any way. That step is always taken by His Father in Heaven. This is so such that God is the first act on us for this relationship with Him to happen. Our task is simply to foster a good disposition for that to happen. And even that effort requires God's involvement already.
