About this episode

This episode discusses the Gospel reading from John 6:56-59 in the context of the Feast of Corpus Christi, emphasizing the significance of the Eucharist.

56 For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. Caro enim mea vere est cibus : et sanguis meus, vere est potus; 57 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. qui manducat meam carnem et bibit meum sanguinem, in me manet, et ego in illo. 58 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. Sicut misit me vivens Pater, et ego vivo propter Patrem : et qui manducat me, et ipse vivet propter me. 59 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever. Hic est panis qui de caelo descendit. Non sicut manducaverunt patres vestri manna, et mortui sunt. Qui manducat hunc panem, vivet in aeternum. The Eucharist is instituted in the form of food, so that we may receive in Holy Communion the Victim of the Cross.
