[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, we come today to the end of the extraordinary sixth chapter of
John’s Gospel.
*Jesus has told his listeners, “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.”*

Now, we hear that “*many of the disciples of Jesus . . . said, ‘This saying
is hard; who can accept it?’” *Knowing their murmuring, *Jesus says, “Does
this shock you?”* Now, if his words were meant in a symbolic sense, they
wouldn’t have had this explosive, shocking effect on his listeners. Given
every opportunity to clarify his meaning along symbolic lines, Jesus does
nothing of the kind.

*What follows from these words of the Lord is one of the saddest moments in
the New Testament: the Scripture tells us that many of his followers
abandoned him.*


*But when Jesus asks whether his disciples will leave too, Peter speaks for
the Twelve: “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal
life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One
of God.”*

*The Church, down through the ages to the present day, has stood with
Peter. Jesus *is not one interesting teacher among many; he *is the only
one, the one with the words of eternal life—indeed, he is the Holy One of
God. And he comes to us through the Flesh and Blood of the Eucharist.*


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
