“My Flesh is True Food”

Dear Friends,

Below you will read the passage from St. John‘s Gospel 6:52-59.
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.” These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 9:00 a.m. and I will celebrate Holy Mass this morning around 9:00 a.m. also. I am praying especially for all people who do not have faith that the Lord may give them this great gift so they can believe in Him. I also pray that all may come to believe in the Real Presence of the Lord in the Holy Eucharist. He gave us Himself in the Holy Eucharist.

(Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Father Melvin. Jesus gave him the message that follows.)

“I call you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the world, to come to believe that I am truly present in the Eucharist. When I taught the people about the Eucharist, I stressed the fact that after consecration they are eating My flesh and drinking My blood. Yes, it is no longer bread and wine, but My flesh and My blood. You who are of age to understand and to receive the Eucharist must take My words in this passage of the Bible to heart. If you do not eat the Eucharist, you do not have eternal life in you. If you eat My flesh and drink My blood then I come and live in you and if I live in you, then you have truly eternal life and you will be in heaven one day. The Eucharist is My greatest gift to you because it is the gift of Myself. I bless you all.”
