John 6:44-51:
The ancestors of the Jews were taught by God through the prophets. This was their spiritual food. They were also fed physically by God in the desert. Now Jesus is present, the Word of God, the Bread of Life that will sustain them for all eternity.
Pope Francis said that “Jesus’ declaration that he is the Bread of Life renews our amazement for the gift of the Eucharist.”
