CBIU READINGS

JN 6:50
But the bread that comes down from heaven is of such a kind that whoever eats it will not die.

JN ;6:53-54
Jesus said to them, “I am telling you the truth: if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them to life on the last day.
JN ;6:56
56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them.
1COR.10:17
Because there is the one loaf of bread, all of us, though many, are one body, for we all share the same loaf.
1COR.11:26-30
6 This means that every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. 27 It follows that if one of you eats the Lord's bread or drinks from his cup in a way that dishonors him, you are guilty of sin against the Lord's body and blood.
28 SO then, you should each examine yourself first, and then eat the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For if you do not recognize the meaning of the Lord's body when you eat the bread and drink from the cup, you bring judgment on yourself as you eat and drink. 30 That is why many of you are sick and weak, and several have died.
