REFLECT

  1. Do I have a hard time accepting the teaching of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, as the disciples did when Jesus announced it It in the Gospel (John 6:53-66)?
  2. God gave us His very self in the Holy Eucharist and It “sustains our strength along the pilgrimage of this life.” How can I be more receptive of God’s giving of Himself?
