Eating and Drinking

My flesh is true food

and my blood is true drink.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood

remains in me and I in them.

John 6:55-56

Going further than St. Paul's writing about a "meal," John is very vivid in the language he uses.  Most of us have not eaten Christ's flesh and drunk his blood for three months.  That eating and drinking is much missed, but we still "remain" in Jesus in Jesus "remains" in us.
