In today's Gospel reading from John 6, Jesus said to the Jews, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my Flesh is true food, and my Blood is true drink. Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood remains in me and I in him. . . . This is the bread that came down from heaven." After hearing this, it is impossible to believe that the Lord meant his words symbolically.
