Bread from Heaven

" I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord, whoever eats of this bread will live forever." ~ John 6.51

The readings continue with the Gospel of John's teachings on the Eucharist. There is the promise that those who eat of this bread will have life forever. I have a deep love of the Eucharist. The opportunity to come to the table, surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses is awesome. We join with everyone, alive and gone, to participate in the saving grace of salvation. Elijah, in the first reading, is told to get up and eat and he does. He goes on the strength of that food for forty days and nights.

The Eucharist can sustain us beyond our wildest imaginings. Come to the banquet and eat!

Peace,

Suzanne
