Reflection – Fr. Michael Casagram – Eucharist

+Jesus inviting his disciples to eat his flesh and drink his blood gave cause as it does even today, for many to say “who can accept it?” It is a challenge to any of us who would be his followers for instinctively we know it means becoming one with his very own way of life, sharing in his suffering and death so as to share also in his glory.

To eat Christ’s flesh and to drink his blood means entering each day anew into his self-giving love in a world where self-interests and self-preservation are constantly encouraged.

As Christians we are all being called to discern each day what it means to be followers of Christ, to be persons of prayer so that we are not only able to do some honest discernment but to live into that fullness of life to which we are called, to be one with Christ, God’s very own beloved sons and daughters.

(Acts 9;31-42; John 6:60-69)
