mk,,H ,-l'o w“p W- "/',' 'ss’l.* jj§ ‘-> In Christ Jesus By: Father Robert Valenza It was the day after they had been fed with a mira culous abundance of bread and fish that many of Jesus : fo'lowers turned away and walked no more with Him. Just the' day before they had wanted to make Him their king; but after what He said this day, they wanted to have no more to do with Him. It was r st'an ge turn of events to ay the least, and this is Low it happened. t Jesus somehow got away from the crowd He had just fed with the few loaves and fishes and had gone to Ca pharnaum. It was the next day when the Jews found Him again and when they did, the conversation turn ed, for obvious reasons, to food. (They wanted another show of power.) “Our fath ers ate the manna in th desert,” they said; “even as it is written, ‘Bread from heaven He gave them to I J ' , Enjoy THE ARTS AND CRAFTS FESTIVAL * V - •_ _ ' .rz-c. . - ■ .

Jesus tells them, “My flesh is REAL food, My blood is REAL drink. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him." The crowd is puzzled nc longer. “This is a hard say ing,” they said, “who can hear it?" The Jews had ob viously taken Jesus literally, and simply cannot swallow what He has told them. As they turn to leave, Jesus Who is Truth itself, does not try to stop them with a figumtlve explanation of His meaning. Instead He turns to these specially chosen ones, the apostles, and asks quietly, “Will you also go away?” He would not retract, even if it meant the loss of His closest fol lowers. It was then that Peter made his magnificent act of faith in Christ for h ! mself and for the other apostles.

Taking a piece of bread into His hands He blessed it, broke it, and gave it to His disciples saying, “Take and eat, THIS IS MY BODY.” After doing the same with the cup, Jesus commanded His apostles, “DO THIS in memory of Me.” The apostles obeyed the command of Jesus as have their successors down through the centuries, even to our own day. Every kind of life has its own type of food. By Baptism we are brought into family of God, born into the LIFE which Jesus carne to give. The food which nourishes this LIFE is “the true bread which comes down from heaven. . “ and ”... he who eats this bread will LIVE forever.” THE YANCEY RECORD Enjoy The Fair Compliments Os 3.
