Bread of Life Discourse: A Meditation on Chapter Six of St. John's Gospel

Have you ever wondered how you would have reacted to the invitation of Jesus to eat His flesh and drink His blood if you had been one of His followers at that time? In Part One the author invites the reader or small group to read the mind of Joseph of Arimathea, a follower of Jesus, as he might have pondered the import of the words and actions of Jesus as reported in the Gospel of St. John. In Part Two some of those same words of Christ deepen the personal meaning of today’s Holy Communion. Modern-day followers of Jesus find inspiration in the invitation of Christ to partake of this Bread of Life. The intent of this book is to reflect on the words and actions of Jesus as He discoursed about the Bread of Life and develop a burning zeal for the Blessed Sacrament.
