Cycle B
Gospel Note:
This passage continues the "I am the bread" sayings of the
preceding verses, but now in a more explicitly eucharistic,
sacramental tone. The metaphorical image of Christ as bread is
now extended to the eating of flesh which brings eternal life, a
notion probably reflecting more the attitude and practice of
later Christian communities than of either Jesus or John.
Liturgical Color:

Suggested Hymns:
How Blest Are They Who Hear God's Word
Take My Life That I May Be
