Penitential Act: Confiteor
I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault;
Therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints; and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading Gn 14:18-20
In those days,
Melchizedek,
king of Salem,
brought out bread and wine,
and being a priest
of God Most High,
he blessed Abram
with these words:
"Blessed be Abram
by God Most High,
the creator of
heaven and earth;
and blessed be
God Most High,
who delivered your
foes into your hand."
Then Abram gave him
a tenth of everything.
~Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm Ps 110:1, 2, 3, 4
R. You are a priest forever,

"Sit at my right hand
till I make your enemies your footstool."

in the line of Melchizedek.
The scepter of your power the LORD
will stretch forth from Zion:
"Rule in the midst of your enemies."

"Yours is princely power in the day
of your birth, in holy splendor;
before the daystar, like the dew,
I have begotten you."

in the line of Melchizedek.

according to the order of Melchizedek."

in the line of Melchizedek.
2nd Reading 1 Cor 11:23-26
Brothers and sisters:
I received from the Lord
what I also handed on to you,
that the Lord Jesus,
on the night he was handed over,
took bread, and,
after he had given thanks,
broke it and said,
"This is my body that is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way also the cup,
after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it,
in remembrance of me."
For as often as you eat this bread
and drink the cup,
you proclaim the death
of the Lord until he comes.
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
R. Alleluia, Alleluia.
I am the living bread
that came down from heaven,
says the Lord;
whoever eats this bread will live forever.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia
Gospel
Lk 9:11b-17
Jesus spoke to the crowds
about the kingdom of God,
and he healed those
who needed to be cured.
As the day was drawing to a close,
the Twelve approached
him and said,
"Dismiss the crowd
so that they can go
to the surrounding
villages and farms
and find lodging and provisions;
for we are in a deserted place here."
He said to them,
"Give them some food yourselves."
They replied,
"Five loaves and two fish
are all we have,
unless we ourselves
go and buy food for all these people."
Now the men there numbered
about five thousand.
Then he said to his disciples,
"Have them sit down
in groups of about fifty."
They did so and made
them all sit down.
Then taking the five loaves
and the two fish,
and looking up to heaven,
he said the blessing
over them, broke them,
and gave them to the disciples
to set before the crowd.
They all ate and were satisfied.
And when the leftover fragments
were picked up,
they filled twelve wicker baskets.
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake He was crucified
under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the
right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge
the living and the dead
and His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from
the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son
is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic
and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the
resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus, I believe that you are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
And unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
