Have you ever heard something that sounded completely outlandish? The Jews in today’s Gospel are not just shocked by Jesus’ teaching, they are likely disgusted and offended. Is Jesus of Nazareth really telling them that He IS the Bread of Life, he is the fulfillment of all the Scriptures? He is the “New Passover”? This is scandalous to them. Often times, living our faith can cause scandal. It’s radical for us to cling to the truths of the faith and to Christ in today’s culture. Let’s take some time to learn more about the Eucharist, the source and summit of our faith, today. Jesus knew we need physical signs, and so he gave us his very self, hidden under the appearances of bread and wine, to nourish us on our journey in this life.

As we gather around the Eucharistic table today, please do create a space in your hearts where Jesus can write his life sustaining words: “I am the bread of life… [if you] eat this bread, [you] will live forever…” (Jn 6:41,51)

The most powerful feeling at Easter Vigil was right after being baptized. I felt both, extremely excited and very calm at the same time. It felt good having a clean slate and beginning a new part of my journey and relationship with God.
-
The feeling I had on Easter Vigil was like I had been waiting for something for so long and I finally made it to that point or destination. Being fully submerged for those few seconds, everything was grace and serene. Coming out of the water was how I would imagine being born. You are cold and there are people around you and noise that wasn’t there 2 seconds ago. From there, it was PEACE & TRANQUILITY.
