I subscribe to The Cavalier Chronicle and I enjoy their short weekly homily on Page 7; the one from 8/20/25 was entitled No Carbs, High Value. Here is the homily: “We need spiritual nourishment as well as food for our stomachs. Both are important: without them we perish. Jesus is the soul food we need. Feast on our Lord this week in church. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. John 6: 51-58.”
My response: I could not agree more that we need food for our souls as well as for our bodies, and, though it seems like cannibalism to eat of the body and blood of Christ at Communion, that is not how it is meant: the literal or symbolic presence of Christ in the Eucharist wafer, and in the wine that represents or is His blood, is meant as spiritual nourishment, and that is comforting that divine nourishment can enter the human soul, the human consciousness.
