The Living Bread

Gospel: John 6:51-58
To explain more deeply, Jesus later compares the experience of the person who "feeds on me" or "eats my flesh" to his experience of his life in the Father.
Paul builds on this in his letter to the Corinthians. Paul reminds the community that everyone who participates in the supper of the Lord becomes part of Christ and of one another. For Paul, the greatest miracle of blessing the cup and breaking the bread is that it deepens our identity as one with and in Christ.
We've been taught to think of the Eucharist as a miracle that astounds and shows us the great love of God in consecrated bread and wine. That is true to the Catechism and leads to deep gratitude. But in calling himself the bread of life, Jesus offers much more than that.
Jesus' intent in calling himself the bread of life is to draw us into a profound union and identity in him that it can only be compared to his relationship with the Father. He wants us to receive, to experience the great love of God through him and be changed by it — over and again.
This solemnity invites us to ask ourselves who we are and who we are becoming. How does our participation in the Eucharist lead us individually and communally into deeper identity in Christ?
