The Heart That Hungers


Listen Later

On the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, this episode reflects on Jesus’ teaching in John 6: 51-58 and a 15th-century German painting of the Last Supper to explore the mystery of the Eucharist as Christ’s true Body and Blood. Through the artwork’s symbolism, listeners are invited to see Christ as the divine Giver who blesses, breaks, and gives Himself for the life of the world, while recognizing themselves in St. John resting close to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The episode emphasizes that Christ enters our brokenness, nourishes us through the Eucharist, and calls us to believe that His Real Presence can transform our lives and lead us to eternal life.


Reflection Questions:

  1. What stands out most to you about the German Last Supper painting?
  2. What does the Sacred Heart devotion reveal about God's love for humanity?
  3. If you truly lived every day as though you had received God Himself in Holy Communion, what would change?
