Daily Mass Gospel Reflection - Ever Present Flesh
Word on Fire Ministry ^ | 05.06.22 | Aux. Bishop R. Barron

Posted on 05/06/2022 9:59:08 AM PDT by MurphsLaw

THIRD WEEK OF EASTER

JOHN 6:52-59

Friends, in today’s Gospel,
Jesus declares that "unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood,
you do not have life within you."

The talk that Jesus gave concerning the sacrament of his Body and Blood was quite literally revolting.
It is a rather remarkable understatement when John writes,
"The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying,
‘How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?’"

So what does Jesus do when confronted with this objection?
One would think that he would offer a metaphorical or symbolic interpretation of his words.
Instead, he intensifies what he had said.

How do we appropriate this shocking talk?
We honor these unnerving words of Jesus, resisting all attempts to explain them away.
We affirm the doctrine of "Real Presence."
Vatican II re-expressed the traditional Catholic belief when it taught that,
though Jesus is present to us in any number of ways—in the proclamation of the Gospel,
in the gathering of two or three in his name,
in the poor and suffering—
he is nevertheless present in a qualitatively different way in the Eucharist.


TOPICS: Catholic
KEYWORDS:
+++The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying,
“How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?”
Jesus said to them,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood,
you do not have life within you.
Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood
has eternal life,
and I will raise him on the last day.
For my Flesh is true food,
and my Blood is true drink.
Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood
remains in me and I in him.
Just as the living Father sent me
and I have life because of the Father,
so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.
This is the bread that came down from heaven.
Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died,
whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.+++

Vatican II re-expressed the traditional Catholic belief...

Impossible. VC II repudiated the Catholic dogma of: extra Ecclesiam nulla salus.

VC II expressed nothing traditional:

New Mass, new calendar, new bible, new catechism, new canon laws, altar chicks, lay readers, communion in the paw and on the hoof, etc.

Barron is a charlatan.

TROLL, THIS IS WHAT BISHOP BARRON WAS TALKING ABOUT AND YOU KNOW THIS- WHY DO YOU LIE AND MISREPRESENT THE TRUTH?

Vatican II
The Holy Eucharist, Vatican II tells us, is "the source and summit of the Christian life" (Lumen gentium, no. 11; cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1324). Since the Christian life is essentially a spiritual life, we might say as well that the Eucharist is the "source and summit of Christian spirituality" too.

STOP YOUR LYING!

You have drunk Barron's poison:

Anybody who disagrees with you or your hero homo-heritic bishop is a "sed":

Bishop Barron takes aim at ‘rad trads’

And don't ping me with anymore of your "necessary pings". Two can play your game.

Bishop Robert Barron’s Disturbing Musclemen Fetish is a Scandal by Itself

Bishop Barron: ‘I will confess to a certain fascination with Martin Luther’

Bishop Robert Barron Does Not Want to Reverse Gay ‘Marriage’

Bp. Robert Barron’s Spiritual Poison

Again, I don't troll you; but as long as you pimp Barron, expect comments. It's a Free Republic, Murph.

Use a CORRECT CAUCUS DESIGNATION.

You're just like your hero homo/heretic Barron; trying to censor traditional Catholics.

Barron should be proud of you.

In the Face of Worldwide Apostasy, Bishop Robert Barron Attacks Traditional Catholics

You can only defend Satan's minion for so long, Murph, until it catches up with you.

You couldn’t tell a sed from a saint; you’re so confused.

I’ll be you and Boobie Barron, would been one of the firsts to light St. Joan of Arc’s funeral pyre.

You know of, and despise the success Bishop Barron has in bringing people to Christ through the Church...and it kills you...
That is why you attack him..
A real Catholic would not get in the way of bringing people to Christ and into the Church...
Would they now?

This is your thread and you did not caucus it.

I think you've become confused in your rage.

Twice now, you have tried to read my mind. And twice you have struck out.

Now here's what Boobie Barron teaches:

Is Jesus Christ the ‘privileged way’ to salvation—or the only way?

Bishop Barron has run into serious trouble with settled and definitive Catholic teaching about salvation.

P.S. Murph, I consider such ad hominems from you and Barron as "not Catholics", "seds" or "rad trads" to be an honor.

And when you become a FR moderator, you can tell me what can be caucused. Until then, I'll ignore your silly demands.

You are so off base.

Boobie Barron is not a real Catholic.
