Saturday of the 3rd week of Easter. C. John 6:60–69
Words of eternal life
As he continues teaching on the bread of life, many disciples begin to leave. “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” Jesus keeps intensifying the language. He knew that some would not believe in the Eucharist no matter what. Some would rather leave him for their former way of life. Some would prefer darkness and error, cheap ways, manipulations, and lies. Together with St. Peter, the Catholic Church continues to celebrate the Eucharist as the source and summit of our life. "
To whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”
Yes, in the Eucharist, we partake in the whole mystery of God's love for us.
Jesus, I trust in you!
