What did Jesus really say about eating His flesh? (Bishop Barron on John 6)
When Jesus told crowds following Him to eat His flesh and drink His blood, He lost a significant portion of His followers. In this blog, Bishop Robert Barron uncovers the meaning behind the Bread of Life discourse in John 6, analysing His words and their significance for Jews at the time. Ultimately, Bishop Barron reveals how Jesus' words offer unequivocal evidence that He wished to be taken literally, for His followers to literally consume His flesh and His blood. This passage is crucial for the Catholic Church's understanding of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
