Jesus, when You said to Your followers, "eat My flesh and drink My blood", many did not understand and they walked away from You. We are like the followers who walked away even today. We still hear Your words and see Your example and find them either hard to hear or hard to follow. Lord, help us as we listen for Your instructions and strengthen us to carry them out. Your body and blood is available to us everyday at the Holy Mass. We now know what Your words meant so long ago. Let us be thankful for the gift of Yourself that is celebrated every hour of everyday throughout the world.Amen.
