“Jesus concludes his discourse with these words: "Whoever eats this bread will live forever" (Jn. 6:58). Yes, living in a concrete, real communion with Jesus on this earth makes us pass from death to life. The heavens begin precisely in this communion with Jesus.”—Pope Francis

Reflection:
How are you impacted by the realization that receiving the Eucharist makes us pass from death to life? Have you ever stopped to consider that heaven begins in this communion with Jesus?
