We continue our reading of Chapter 6 of Saint John. In the sections read over the last few days, Jesus was telling us once again that He is the Bread of Life, and that whoever comes to Him in faith will have eternal life. Today he establishes the link between faith and the sacrament of the Eucharist. The bread that he will give to those who come to Him is His flesh, already given up for the life of the world. In these few words, the link is established not only between faith and the sacramental act, but also between faith, the sacrament and the event of the Cross.
