The Wisdom of God has prepared
a feast, we hear in today’s First
Reading.
We must become like children
(see Matthew 18:3–4) to hear
and accept this invitation. For in
every Eucharist, it is the folly of
the Cross that is represented and renewed.
To the world, it is foolishness to believe that the
crucified Jesus rose from the dead. And for many, as
for the crowds in today’s Gospel, it is foolishness—
maybe even madness—to believe that Jesus can
give us His Flesh to eat.
Yet Jesus repeats himself with gathering intensity in
the Gospel today. Notice the repetition of the words
“eat” and “drink,” and “my Flesh” and “my Blood.”
To heighten the unbelievable realism of what Jesus
asks us to believe, John in these verses uses not the
ordinary Greek word for eating but a cruder term,
once reserved to describe the “munching” of
feeding animals.
The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom
(see 1 Corinthians 1:18–25). In His foolish love, He
chooses to save those who believe that His Flesh is
true food, His Blood, true drink.
Fear of the Lord, the desire to live by His will, is the
beginning of true wisdom, Paul says in today’s
Epistle (see Proverbs 9:10). And as we sing in
today’s Psalm, those who fear Him shall not want for
any good thing.
Again today in the liturgy, we are called to renew our
faith in the Eucharist, to forsake the foolishness of
believing only what we can see with our eyes.
We approach, then, not only an altar prepared with
bread and wine, but the feast of Wisdom, the
banquet of heaven —in which God our Savior renews
His everlasting covenant and promises to destroy
death forever (see Isaiah 25:6–9).
Let us make the most of our days, as Paul says,
always, in the Eucharist, giving thanks to God for
everything in the name of Jesus, the bread come
down from heaven.
