Prv 9:1-6
Eph 5:15-20
Jn 6:51-58
Jesus is our Bread of Life. He had told his disciples that his food was to do the will of the Father (John 4:34). Now, two chapters later, he tells us that our food is his body and blood, and that this gives us life just like the Father gives him life. It follows, therefore, that our participation in the Lord's Supper is geared toward our doing the will of Christ. “Try to understand what is the will of the Lord,” Paul therefore urges in the Second Reading, giving us some concrete examples. Our defense of life is one major aspect of union with the will of God.
