The precious body and blood of Christ.
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
Jesus told the Jews that his body and blood is the true bread from heaven that is given for the life of the world, and he confirmed it to the disciples at the Last Supper.
Holy Scripture teaches:
…unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Jn 6:53
The more we receive the body and blood of Jesus in the Eucharist with love and devotion the more his life grows in us
