'My Flesh is Real Food' - Corpus Christi (Year A)

On the Feast of Corpus Christi, we reflect on one of the most startling and divisive statements Jesus ever made: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” Drawing together the history of the manna in the wilderness and Christ's controversial teaching in John 6, this sermon explores why the Eucharist lies at the heart of the Christian faith. Far more than a symbol, it is our living encounter with the risen Lord, who feeds us with his flesh and blood and sustains us for our journey to the promised land.
