"I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. I am the living bread which came down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh...truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
Many of his disciples, when they heard it said,"This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?" But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, "Do you take offense at this? Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending where he was before? The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you that do not believe."
After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him.
--John, 6:41-67
Mother of the Eucharist, August 8, 1986
"Beloved sons, how my heart is filled with joy in seeing you here, on a priestly pilgrimage of adoration, of love, of reparation and thanksgiving to Jesus, my Son and my God, present in the Eucharist, to console Him for the great emptiness, the great ingratitude and the great indifference, with which He is surrounded in his real and loving presence in all the tabernacles of the earth, on the part of so many of my children...Jesus becomes truly present, at the moment of the consecration...which transforms the matter of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ."strong>
--Our Lady Speaks to Her Beloved Priests, (1987).
