"There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church, which is, of course, quite a different thing." -Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Placating terrorists, meeting with dictators, compassion for murderers... but no humanity for the unborn... incredible.
OOT
The Bread of Life I Am The Bread of Life."
(John 6:48)
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying,
"How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?"
Jesus said to them,
John 6: 52-54
"Amen, amen I say unto you:
Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man,
and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you."
John 6:55-56
"He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,
hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,
abideth in me, and I in him."
John 6:57
"Just as the Father who has life sent me
and I have life because of the Father,
so the one who feeds on me will have life because of me."
John 6:60
Then many of his disciples who were listening said,
"This is hard; who can accept it?"
John 6:64
"But there are some of you who do not believe."
Jesus knew from the begining the ones who would not believe
and the one who would betray him.
John 6:66
As a result of this, many [of] his disciples returned to their former way of life
and no longer accompanied him.
Jesus then said to the Twelve,
"Do you also want to leave?"
John 6:67-69
Simon Peter answered him,
"Master, to whom shall we go?
You have the words of eternal life.
We have come to believe and are convinced
that you are the Holy One of God."
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
John 6: 48-58
"Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven;
that if any man eat of it, he may not die."
(1 Cor. 11 25-27)
St. Paul's letter to the Corinthians:
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood:
this do ye, as often as you shall drink,
for the commemoration of me.
For as often as you shall eat this bread,
and drink the chalice, you shall shew
the death of the LORD, until he come."
Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread,
or drink the chalice of the LORD unworthily,
shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the LORD.
But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread,
and drink of the chalice. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgement to himself,
not discerning the body of the LORD."
The chalice of benediction and the bread which we break: the body of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 6:20
For you are bought with a great price.
Glorify and bear God in your body
1 Corinthians 10:15
I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
The chalice of benediction, which we bless,
is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?
And the bread, which we break,
is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?
For we, being many, are one bread, one body,
all that partake of one bread.
1 Corinthians 10:21
You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord,
and the chalice of devils:
you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord,
and of the table of devils.
(Douay Rhiems)
They Recognized Him
In the Breaking of the Bread....
(Luke 24:30-31)
"And it happened that, while he was with them at table,
he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.
With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him,
but he vanished from their sight."
… You've convinced me that Jesus is the bread of life. And you've done a fine job of it. I'm bothered also by the ancient Gospel of the Hebrews that claims the bread of life, i.e. "give us this day our daily bread", is actually "give us this day, our bread of tommorow". I know. I'm an oddball. I stopped in to say hello at the bequest of my good friend and brother Michael. God bless you all.

Are you referring to Matthew's original Gospel? How did you find it? Is this 'bread of tomorrow' an expression in Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek?
