As Jesus described himself as the bread of life that must be consumed, this shocking and "hard" concept turned some of his followers from him. "As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer walked with him." (Jn 6: 67). This sad rejection continues today, as we see former altar servers, or good, practicing Catholics at some point drifting or turning away and adopting a "decent" way of life (really based on Christian values) but have no connection with the Church any longer. They have their freedom of choice, but the same question Jesus asked his Twelve challenges us: Do we also want to leave? Like Peter, may we answer: "Master to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God," (Jn 6: 68-69)
