The Feast of the Assumption this year superseded the 20th Sunday of Ordinary Time. In year B on this Sunday, we normally continue with the Bread of Life discourse. Since it's proclaimed over the course of multiple Sundays, including last Sunday, I feel it's worth offering a few thoughts.
God grants to humble humans the great gift of wisdom, ultimately so that we can come to know Him.
Through this wisdom, we see that God has come to us in Jesus Christ, who sustains us by His Body and Blood. Jesus declares, "My flesh is true food and My blood is true drink." By partaking of Him, we remain in Him, and we will have Eternal Life.
And we experience that Eternal Life now, because the gift of wisdom together with Christ's Body and Blood in the Eucharist transforms us to live in a way that is pleasing to God. We live with a different purpose each day, so that in this mortal life on Earth, we can make the most of our days, living according to God's will, as the Spirit fills us and directs us.
