From the Gospel of John    47 

Divinity, in the Holy Eucharist. The Church will reaffirm God's teaching 

that Jesus Christ is completely present, in both His Humanity and His 

Divinity, in the Holy Eucharist. The Holy Eucharist is nothing other than 

Jesus Christ and the appearance of bread or wine. The Holy Eucharist is 

Jesus Christ. Thus the Virgin Mary is the Mother of the Eucharist. 

    At that time, this teaching will cause a controversy among Christians, 

among Jews, and perhaps even among unbelievers. And some members of 

the Church will fall away and lose their faith because they refuse to believe 

this holy teaching. 

    Even today, some foolish theologians, whose intellect is strong but whose 

faith is weak, have written that Jesus never taught His disciples:  ...unless 

you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in 

you.  (John 6:53). Even some priests do not believe Christ is truly, fully 

present in the Holy Eucharist. But I tell you, whoever trusts in his own 

reasoning more than in the teachings of God, revealed through Holy 

Infallible Scripture and the teachings of the Church, is not worthy to be 

called a Christian or a theologian or a priest. 

    The reasoning of the most distinguished scholar on earth is still the 

reasoning of a sinner. And even some Holy Saints of the Church at times 

wrote or believed things which the Church later decided were wrong. Follow 

the teaching of the Psalm:  It is better to take refuge in the L

ORD

 than to put 

confidence in man. It is better to take refuge in the L

ORD

 than to put 

confidence in princes.  (Psalm 118:8 9). 

    Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich gives witness to the truth that Jesus 

really did teach His disciples about eating His flesh and drinking His blood. 

She explains that the chief priests tried to use  this teaching of Jesus as an 

accusation against Him before Pilate. But Pilate was unconcerned with this 

accusation.

The First to Throw a Stone (John 8:1 11) 

     The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in 

adultery, and placing  her in the midst they said to him, `Teacher, this 

woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the law Moses 

commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?' This they said to 

test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent 

down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask 

him, he stood up and said to them, `Let him who is without sin among you 

be the first to throw a stone at her.' And once more he bent down and wrote 

with his finger on the ground.  (John 8:3 8). 

    This woman broke one of the Ten Commandments, which Holy Scripture 

says were  written with the finger of God  on tables of stone (Deuteronomy
