4.23.15

 Lectio: Jn 6.52-59

 Meditatio: "This is the bread that came down from heaven.  Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever." Jn 6.58

 Oratio: O God, You gave us the medicine of immortality  as opined by the early Fathers of the Church.

 I remember Jesus declared that He is the Eucharistic Bread and whoever eats it, will live forever. Pray to become what you eat - Christ for others, and we will live for ever.

 I ask this and all things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You
 and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

 Contemplatio: spend some time in silence and meditate on the selected passage and hear what God is saying to you.

 Operatio: reflect:"eats...live forever"; Jesus said that He is the bread that came down from heaven and we will live forever if we eat this bread - the Eucharist.  Seek the grace to receive the Eucharist worthily and frequently so as to be filled with the life of Christ and be Christ for others so that they, too, will come to know Him and be blest by Him.
