The 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time -- August 11 2024

We continue to hear in our readings this week about bread. Many Catholics today have some doubts about the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. We can take heart in knowing that even in Jesus' own time, people had a hard time understanding or believing what He was telling them. Let's take this opportunity to hear more from Scripture about the Bread of Life, as well as the Incarnation, and how they are connected.
