On this 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time, we continue our journey through Jesus’ Bread of Life Discourse. This Sunday we hear Jesus refer to Himself not only as the Bread of Life, but as the Living Bread that came down from heaven. As Tony explains, this teaches us something very profound about how we exist as creatures, and about how God intends us to begin experiencing the fullness of life here and now.
