Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
52 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.
53 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.
55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
56 For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.
False ecumenism in Great Britain and in America has weakened the faith of many Catholics, who want to pretend that those who have heard of the teachings of the Catholic Church and yet have walked away will be saved.
Christ, Who Is the Second Person in the Blessed Trinity, Who IS Divine, gave us the above words. Without Holy Communion, there is no life in a person.
I did not make this up. The Church did not make this up. Those who have heard this and read this passage and still walk away do not have life within them.
Why is it that Catholics do not understand this passage as the hard truth?
Evangelization has nothing to do with numbers or even renewing the Church. Evangelization has to do with saving persons from hell.
Evangelize daily. Take what Christ has said seriously. Be grateful for the grace given to you as a Catholic.
Do you have family members who no longer go to Mass? Remind them of this passage. Do you have friends or fellow workers who are good Protestants, but cannot bring themselves to come over to Rome, read this passage.
Without the Mass and Holy Communion, especially for a fallen away Catholic, there is no life in the soul. The soul is dead.
Pray and act.
