The Bread of Life Discourse (3)
A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 6, 45 – 59:
Jesus said, “Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God, he has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
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 remain 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 Jesus said while teaching in the Synagogue in Capernaum.
Today I prepared the account of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island Inc. to bring it to my accountant so that he can prepare everything and send it to the Government. He always charges the same price every year. That price is $1,000. I will need this money by the end of next week, so if you can help me to pay this, I would be very thankful. The weather here is not bad. Today we had the beautiful sun almost the whole day. It is cloudy now and we are supposed to have some rain during the night. May the Lord bless you all.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I am the Bread of Life My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters and I am the one who gave you the Holy Eucharist. As the Bible passage above shows that I taught the Jews about the Eucharist but they refused to believe My words. I ask you all to read this passage at least three times because these words are fundamental for your Catholic Faith. You know that the Holy Eucharist is at the centre of My Church and each Catholic should read often My words that are above. I told the Jews and I tell you now these words, ‘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.” You must all believe these words with all your heart and mind. I gave you the Eucharist as one of the greatest gifts you could receive. Come, My brothers and sisters and have a great love for Me in the Eucharist and when you receive Me do so with great faith and respect. I want all those who come to Holy Communion to receive Me to kneel down and show respect. If you do so you will be blessed. I love you all.”
