Trinity Lutheran Elkhart Homilies

Ordinary 20: Chew on God (feat. Pr. Mielke)

Trinity Lutheran Church

This Sunday we hit the “summit” of Jesus’ Eucharistic teaching in John 6. In graphic terms he shows us how essential his flesh and blood is so that we may:
Have eternal life
Be raised up on the last day
Abide in him

St. Teresa of Avila said: If we but paused for a moment to consider attentively what takes place in this Sacrament of the Eucharist, I am sure that the thought of Christ's love for us would transform the coldness of our hearts into a fire of love and gratitude.
