The food that endures for eternal life…
Dear Family of Mary!
Today in our Gospel reading for Mass, we begin the Bread of Heaven discourse from John’s Gospel. Jesus teaches us the incredible mystery of His Body and Blood, given to us as our very food from Heaven. Jesus begins with these simple words:
“Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal.” (John 6:28)
This food that endures for eternal life, the Eucharist, is given to us by Jesus, directly through the hands of His priests. We are fed personally by Jesus with each Holy Communion. It is unbelievable!!
Our Lady has drawn us to the Eucharist so gently and convincingly throughout the years in her messages. Here is one such message:
June 2, 2012
“Dear children, I am continuously among you because, with my endless love, I desire to show you the door of Heaven. I desire to tell you how it is opened: through goodness, mercy, love and peace – through my Son.
Therefore, my children, do not waste time on vanities. Only knowledge of the love of my Son can save you. Through that salvific love and the Holy Spirit He chose me and I, together with Him, am choosing you to be apostles of His love and will.
My children, great is the responsibility upon you. I desire that by your example you help sinners regain their sight, enrich their poor souls and bring them back into my embrace.
Therefore, pray, pray, fast and confess regularly. If receiving my Son in the Eucharist is the center of your life then do not be afraid, you can do everything.
I am with you. Every day I pray for the shepherds and I expect the same of you. Because, my children, without their guidance and strengthening through their blessing, you cannot do it. Thank you.”
May we receive Jesus in the Eucharist as the center of our lives!! Because He is!!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
