8 April 2025 -- Thursday of the 3rd week of Easter
Homily
We are continuing our reading of Chapter 6 of Saint John. In the sections we have read over the last few days, Jesus has told us once again that he is the Bread of Life, and that anyone who comes to him in faith will have eternal life. Today he establishes the link between faith and the sacrament of the Eucharist. The bread he will give to those who come to him is His flesh, already given up for the life of the world. In these few words, the link is established not only between faith and the sacramental gesture, but also between faith, the sacrament and the event of the Cross.
