REFLECTION
How easy it is to live as though material things can satisfy our longing for the full life! In today’s first reading, Moses reminds the chosen people that they were ready to be sustained by God’s word and fed by the manna and water in the desert only after every material support had failed. God’s care for his people in the desert prepared for Jesus’ remarkable offer, recounted in the gospel, of his flesh and blood—his entire person—to be the real food and drink which nourishes us spiritually. The possibility of being so closely united to him challenges our faith and tests our longing for the life of the spirit. Paul’s letter teaches us that eating the Eucharistic bread and drinking the cup gives us a share in Jesus’ self-offering on the cross and forms us into a community. Through participating in the Eucharist we become Christ’s body! Let us celebrate anew this wonderful sacrament, praying that all who receive it may be united ever more deeply with Christ and with each other.
