Weekly Reflection
I Am the Living Bread
06-07-2026 | We Celebrate Worship Resource, Vol. 51, No. 2At the beginning of his Gospel, John writes that when Jesus was born, “the Word became flesh” (John 1:14), using “flesh” (sarx in Greek) to denote the totality of human nature. The Word, who is fully divine, becomes fully human as well. Today, we hear Jesus use the same word, telling the crowds that “My flesh is true food” and “Whoever eats my flesh...remains in me and I in him [or her]” (John 6:55, 56). When we receive the body of Christ in the Eucharist, we eat his flesh and enter into communion with him. This is what Paul is getting at in the part of his letter to the Corinthians we hear today. When we celebrate the Eucharist, we participate in the body of Christ. Moreover, in partaking of the body of Christ physically, Christians all over the world join in the spiritual body of Christ. He remains in us and we remain in him, participating in his body, which was crucified, died and was buried, and rose again to be with the Father. Consuming Christ’s flesh in the Eucharist, we are challenged to live out his self- sacrificing love through our bodies, our bodies that have been fortified with his.
How can you meet the challenge to live out Christ’s self-sacrificing love and mercy in the world?
Yo soy el Pan Vivo
Al comienzo de su Evangelio, Juan escribe que, cuando nació Jesús, “y aquel Verbo fue hecho carne” (Juan 1:14), utilizando el término “carne” (sarx en griego) para denotar la totalidad de la naturaleza humana. El Verbo, que es plenamente divino, se hace también plenamente humano. Hoy escuchamos a Jesús emplear esa misma palabra al decir a las multitudes: “Mi carne es verdadera comida” y “Quien come mi carne... permanece en mí y yo en él [o ella]” (Juan 6:55, 56). Cuando recibimos el cuerpo de Cristo en la Eucaristía, comemos su carne y entramos en comunión con él. Esto es precisamente a lo que alude Pablo en el pasaje de su carta a los Corintios que escuchamos hoy. Al celebrar la Eucaristía, participamos del cuerpo de Cristo. Es más, al participar físicamente del cuerpo de Cristo, los cristianos de todo el mundo se unen al cuerpo espiritual de Cristo. Él permanece en nosotros y nosotros permanecemos en él, participando de su cuerpo, el mismo que fue crucificado, murió, fue sepultado y resucitó para estar con el Padre. Al consumir la carne de Cristo en la Eucaristía, se nos desafía a vivir su amor de entrega y sacrificio a través de nuestros propios cuerpos; cuerpos que han sido fortalecidos con el suyo.
¿Cómo puedes afrontar el desafío de vivir el amor abnegado y la misericordia de Cristo en el mundo?
