21st Sunday in Ordinary Time B

Jesus is the Bread of Life... this Bread is His Flesh and the drink He offers is His Blood. Dissenters from these words of Jesus would make the claim that because Jesus also said that the Spirit is that which gives life and the flesh is of no avail, that Jesus only means to nourish us with His words. He certainly does so, but He also intends to feed us with His very self. Our desire to seek out Jesus in the Holy Eucharist should cause us to make excuses just to see Him who gives Himself to us for eternal life.
