Mumbai, Nov 17, 2015: In a message relayed live to participants of the four-day National Eucharistic Congress which started in Mumbai the Pope said: " Sporitual hunger can be satiated only by the bread that comes from above. Christ himself is the living bread that gives life to the world."
The Pope said that the theme of the congress "Nourished by the Eucharist to Nourish Others" was "very relevant" and served as a reminder that people suffer from a spiritual hunger that can be satisfied only by "the bread that comes from above".
The sacrament of the Eucharist, he stressed, also "leads us to solidarity" with those in need; those who partake of Christ’s body and blood cannot remain idle when seeing others suffering in want and hunger.
