FRIDAY 23rd APRIL 2021
John 6, 52-59:
“My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him”.
The Jews did not quite understand, just as we do not quite understand: “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” We will understand Jesus’ words when we want to participate fully in the Eucharist.
And to participate in the Eucharist means to unite ourselves to Christ in such a way that the person and life of Jesus shapes our own person and our own life.
When we eat the bread of the Eucharist we become one with Jesus. His life moves our life. He dwells in us and we in him.
Receive him in the Eucharist whenever you have the opportunity, even if now you can only do so spiritually, and make sure that there are many occasions.
Worship Him, even if now you can only do so in your heart, present in the tabernacle, and try to do so many times.
Your life will be transformed without you realising it, because it is Jesus who transforms it to his own measure.
Good day.
