Homily by Fr. Marc

Father Marc focuses on the significance of John 6, emphasizing the importance of understanding Jesus’ teaching about the Eucharist. Father encourages us to appreciate the depth of Jesus’ message, which states that He is the “bread of life” and offers His flesh and blood as true food and drink for eternal life. As the homily progresses, it addresses the confusion and skepticism of the people, reiterating that Jesus’ words are literal and not merely metaphorical. Father warns against a superficial understanding of faith, urging us to embrace the truth of the Eucharist and to avoid indifference towards this profound gift. The message calls for a deeper love through repentance and a commitment to follow Jesus on His terms.
