Father Anthony reflects on the shock and promise of John 6:52–59, where Jesus’ words ignite dispute—“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”—because the Lord refuses to soften what He means: unless we eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, we have no life in us. He speaks with a holy insistence that feels almost too close, too concrete, as if salvation were not merely an idea to admire but a life to receive—His life, given to be shared.

Father Anthony acknowledges the importance of repentance and taking responsibility for our sins so that we can live in accordance with His will.
