NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Continuing Jesus’ words on the Bread of Life from two Sundays ago, the gospel today tells us how the Son, the one who “comes down from heaven,” both gives life and is life himself. Manna was also food that came from God, but it remained food.

Jesus himself becomes what he offers: eternal life. He is nourishment that sustains those who believe in him on the journey from death and despair, as Ezekiel felt, to new life. This journey is also one of discipleship. In the Eucharist we encounter this Living Bread, both offering and the One who offers, which sustains us to the end.

DICIANNOVESIMA DOMENICA DEL TEMPO ORDINARIO
Come i loro padri avevano mormorato contro Mose’ nel deserto, i farisei mormorano contro Gesù. Sono sordi all’insegnamento del Padre. Se l’Eucarestia lascia scettici anche noi, non è forse perchè cerchiamo, nella parola e nei gesti liturgici, i nostri luoghi comuni, anzichè lasciarci attirare e interpellare dal messaggio di Dio? O perchè la comunione con Dio ci interessa di meno delle chiacchiere che facciamo con noi stessi?

I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die." - Jn 6:48-50
