Jesus said, I am the living bread came down from heaven.
1 Kings 19:7–8 (NJB): But the angel of Yahweh came back a second time and touched him and said, ‘Get up and eat, or the journey will be too long for you.’ 8 So he got up and ate and drank, and strengthened by that food he walked for forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, God’s mountain.
Elijah was run away for Jezebel the Queen. She told him that she will kill him as Elijah killed all the false prophets in Israel. He ran away stayed for some days in a cave. An angel of God appeared to him and told him to eat and drink, the bread and water. He ate for the second time and he travelled fourty days and forty nights in the desert. Elijah was survived within bread and water which is symbolising the Holy Eucharist. Then how much more Jesus can do with His Body and Blood, the Eucharist to save us till the end od lour life on earth and to give us eternal life. St Catherine of Sienna has survived for seven years just by consuming The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. So we can see how much precious is the Eucharist is? There are many other saints has lived many years just with Eucharist as their only meal. John 6:51 (NJB): 51 I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world.’ Jesus is giving himself for us in this Living Bread, in this tiny bread to make us as a living sacrifice for Him to save many souls for him.
