Eat the flesh of Jesus and drink his blood to live in eternity
John 6:54–56 (NJB): Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person.
In the Gospel of John, chapter 6, Jesus reveals several times that his body and blood are the eternal food. Another blessing He offers is that those who receive His Body and Blood with reverence will be raised on the Last Day. He will raise us, therefore we should take advantage of every opportunity to attend Holy Mass. The priest's consecration during Mass is a repetition of Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary. This mystery is the greatest blessing we may receive on earth on a daily basis through Holy Mass. We should thank Jesus, our Lord, for this blessing, and when we completely understand this mystery, we cannot have Him without tears.
So let us cry for our sins which is hurting our Lord severely. Let us console Him by our love, because of our sins we may crucify Him again.
Lord Jesus, cleanse our sins with your Precious Blood. Jesus Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!!
