James Alison reflects on what Jesus is inviting us to when he asks us to eat the bread and drink of the life that he offers us [John 6:51-69].

Reflection

• What is the difference between the Manna in the desert, and what Jesus offers in the Eucharist?
• Do Jesus’ words scandalize you?
• How do you understand “coming to be persuaded” that Jesus is the Holy one of God?
