Lectio Divina – MEDITATION‐
Ques ons to reflect on this week: First Reading The Jewish sage of Proverbs uses domes c images to invite believers to par cipate in divine wisdom. What do you find a rac ve about obtaining wisdom? Second Reading Paul defines wisdom to the Ephesians as understanding "what is the will of the Lord." What do you understand as the will of the Lord? Gospel Reading The Bread of Life Discourse reaches its zenith in Jesus saying, "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you." How is this asser on central to our Catholic belief in the Eucharist?

Digging deeper
August 19, 2018 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time
In this Sunday's Gospel, the conflict escalates in the Bread of Life Discourse. Confusion
is moun ng in the crowd. "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Their minds
were thinking literally, not mys cally. Jesus doesn't seem to help, however, and only
drives his point home with more emphasis. "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of
Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you." Jesus would later ins tute
the Eucharist at the Last Supper. There he would defini vely establish the sacramen-
tal reality in which bread and wine become substan ally his own Body and Blood. We
celebrate this sacrament in the Mass.
Perhaps we do not always understand what we receive. "My flesh is true food, and
my blood is true drink." What is the essence of food and drink? Food nourishes our
bodies, providing essen al calories for our survival. Water is used throughout the
body to cushion joints, regulate body temperature, and protect sensi ve ssues like
the brain. When we receive the Eucharist, we receive the spiritual equivalent of these
essen al elements. Like water, the Eucharist strengthens the sanc fying grace moving
through us. "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him."
The Eucharist connects us in mately to Jesus and confirms our union with him. That is
why we abstain from the Eucharist while in a state of mortal sin. It would be a contra-
dic on and deep disrespect to these words of Jesus. To receive the Body and Blood of
Jesus is not a right but a gi we receive with deep humility.
As we receive the Bread of Life, grace strengthens our love, separates us from sin --
even wiping away venial sins -- unifies us with the universal Church, and helps commit
us to humble service. Together we are nourished for our mission in the world!
