“this “eating God” thing” You mean what Jesus told us we had to do to gain eternal life? And “eating” is actually the word “chewing or gnawing.” A bunch of people left him then saying, “this is too hard.” I don’t understand it. I agree it seems very odd. I only know that He said it and then at the Last Supper he showed us how.
I don’t remember the cite but St. Paul said “pray always.” That sounds impossible too. In praying I stay in Communion with Jesus. It becomes a matter of directing my life so that everything I do is directed towards the Cross. After a while it becomes easier. As I drive around town I have the radio tuned to one of several stations that give me the Word. I have several times during the day that I pray. I have items around the house that remind me of God. I have to eat to live but I don’t eat non-stop. I hope to get to the point where I can receive Communion daily. I don’t. I know people who do. But I don’t believe that I fall out of Communion with Jesus if I receive frequently and stay in prayerful communion with Him.
So in your religion do you get the pre-crucified flesh and blood of Jesus, or is the priest serving the post resurrection Jesus? I’m asking a serious question, not teasing.
