Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
John 6:41-51
*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus offers himself as food for the soul.
There is a great truth revealed in the bread of life discourse. *It is the
law of the gift.
*This personal, incarnating God wants to be eaten and drunk, to be
radically and fully for the other. Why were the gods of the ancient world
so popular? Because they were projections of ourselves—vain, arrogant,
resentful, violent. This means that they put little moral pressure on us.
They were frightening but not morally demanding. But this God who shows
that he is totally love and who wants us in relation to him, to eat and
drink him in, is the God who wants us to be like him. As he is food and
drink for the world, so we must be food and drink for the world. As he gave
himself away utterly, so we must give ourselves away utterly, without
clinging to the goods, honors, or values of the world—all those things that
aggrandize the ego. The personal God, the incarnate God, the God of the
gift. How compelling. How deeply challenging. How will you decide?*
