Gospel: John
6:44-51
Jesus
said to the crowds: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw
him, and I will raise him on the last day. It is written in the prophets: They
shall all be taught by God.
Everyone
who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has
seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Amen,
amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your
ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that
comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from
heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will
give is my Flesh for the life of the world.”

Reflection:
How could
you have eternal life? You have to
regularly receive the Body of Christ at Holy Mass. Always receive it with
reverence and piety never think of it as a simple bread. Because what you receive
is Jesus Himself.
Just imagine the enlightenment and unfathomable
blessing that it will bring you if you would always partake of the body of
Christ. Just imagine the countless spiritual blessing that it would bring you
if you would believe that Jesus is the Consecrated Host that you receive during
Holy Communion.
Your belief
and faith in the bread of life will open your mind to the many truths about
Jesus. Things that are hard to explain but is real and felt by the heart, all
you have to do is to believe and have faith.
For
without faith and belief you will not fully comprehend how this small bread
becomes the body of Jesus after it is consecrated by the priest. How this small
bread becomes your life and your reason for existing in this world.
Don’t
wait for a Eucharistic miracle to happen before you believe for it may not
happen in your lifetime. Believe now and have faith now in the bread of life. Which
is Jesus Himself and you yourself will become a living and breathing miracle for those who
know you. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
