Family Perspective, by Bud
Ozar:
In today’s gospel Jesus
speaks of eating his flesh and blood.
Parents can identify with this, for they often feel devoured by all the
demands of family life. This is
unavoidable for children grow in the soil of sacrificial love. Parenting is not part time work. It is a consuming lifetime commitment.
