To: ADSUMVery telling.>>Yes. Every day I hunger and thirst for the Body and Blood of Christ.<<Then you obviously don't believe John 6 as you claim you do.
John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
Jesus came so the blind could see and the deaf could hear.
May the Holy Spirit infiltrate the minds of those that resist.
Your comment: “May the Holy Spirit infiltrate the minds of those that resist.”
Yes. I agree and hope that the protestors listen to the words of Jesus and really believe in Jesus, instead of their continued insistence that they know better. They give excuses as to why one should not eat and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus, but do not dispute the clear and strong statement of Jesus.
Jesus said, “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life within you” (John 6:53).
At the Last Supper he took bread and wine and said, “Take and eat. This is my body . . . This is my blood which will be shed for you” (Mark 14:22–24). In this way Jesus instituted the sacrament of the Eucharist, the sacrificial meal Catholics consume at each Mass.
I take the words of Jesus very seriously and I hope others will do likewise. I have an open mind and I have no reason to change my opinion or my faith about the Real presence in the Eucharist based on the comments from those that do not fully accept or believe Jesus.
May God help all on their faith journey.
