John 6: 41-51
In the gospel reading today we see that Jesus is telling us that he is the Holy Eucharist. But so many people say that he was just using a metaphor. So as not to fall into that mindset, we need to look further on in John 6.
When all the people desert him, he doesn't say, "Hey guys, I was just using a metaphor, come back." Instead he asks his Apostles if they want to leave him too. But Peter says, "Master to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God." (John 6: 66-69)
In our lives today many times we doubt God and we wonder if we can trust Him to take care of things. But let's follow Peter's example and always stay faithful. We can do this by receiving the Eucharist, which is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, every day or at least more often!
And if you have a church that has 24 hour Adoration, make sure to stop by on your way home from work or when you are going to buy groceries. Pay a visit to Jesus.
