SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY # 296
And Jesus said to them:
"I am the bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the desert: and are dead.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man eat of it, he may not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world." (John 6:48-51)
"I am the bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the desert: and are dead.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man eat of it, he may not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world." (John 6:48-51)
COMMUNION UNDER ONE KIND: It is evident from our Lord's words: "He that eateth this Bread (My body under the form of bread) will live forever," that he who receives Holy Communion under one kind, does not receive less than he who receives under both kinds.
[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]
(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
