The Bread of Life is in the Eucharist
John 6:51-58
From the Lectors Workbook, we know that “John
The Evangelist is instructing us
About the value of the Eucharist.
It is offered…from the altar as bread and wine
Transformed into the” Lamb’s Body and Blood.
From the Navarre Bible commentary,
We know that “Jesus…is inviting us
To partake often of His Body, as
Nourishment for our souls,” our daily bread.
Transubstantiation is wonderful.
We can eat and drink the Lamb’s Flesh and Blood.
The Church is a halfway house to Heaven.
Since exhumation is part of canon-
ization, I do not want cremation.
