Today's Catholic Mass Gospel and Reflection for August 18, 2024 - John 6:51-58

The Bread That Gives Life

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 119



Alleluia: Jn 6:56
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
remains in me and I in him, says the Lord.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel: John 6:51-58
Jesus said to the crowds: "I am the living bread, who descended from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he shall live in eternity. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”

Therefore, the Jews debated among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” And so, 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 will not have life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live 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."

Sunday, August 18, 2024 - A moment with GOD through HIS WORD.

Reflection: How does your understanding of the Eucharist shape the way you experience and prepare for Communion each week?



Prayer: My Eucharistic Lord, I do believe; help my unbelief. I thank You for the very gift of Yourself, given to me in the reception of Holy Communion. Please continue to teach me about this Gift, dear Lord. Open my mind to understand so that I will always come forward to receive with the utmost faith, love and hope. Jesus, I trust in You.
