Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading 2 Kgs 4:42-44

A man came from Baal-shalishah bringing to Elisha, the man of God,
twenty barley loaves made from the firstfruits,
and fresh grain in the ear.
Elisha said, "Give it to the people to eat."
But his servant objected,
"How can I set this before a hundred people?"
Elisha insisted, "Give it to the people to eat."
"For thus says the LORD,
'They shall eat and there shall be some left over.'"
And when they had eaten, there was some left over,
as the LORD had said.

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm Ps 145:10-11, 15-16, 17-18

R. (cf. 16) The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD,

and let your faithful ones bless you.

Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom

and speak of your might.

R. The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

The eyes of all look hopefully to you,

and you give them their food in due season;

you open your hand

and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

R. The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

The LORD is just in all his ways

and holy in all his works.

The LORD is near to all who call upon him,

to all who call upon him in truth.

R. The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

2nd Reading Eph 4:1-6

Brothers and sisters: I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace: one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

A great prophet has risen in our midst.

God has visited his people.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Gospel Jn 6:1-15

Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick. Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. The Jewish feast of Passover was near. When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, "Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?" He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, "Two hundred days' wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little." One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?" Jesus said, "Have the people recline." Now there was a great deal of grass in that place.

So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted. When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted." So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat. When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world." Since Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry him off to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain alone.

The Gospel of the Lord,

~ Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ

Homily

Profession of Faith:

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.

Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading Jer 23:1-6

Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of

my pasture, says the LORD. Therefore, thus says the LORD, the God

of Israel, against the shepherds who shepherd

my people: You have scattered my sheep and driven

them away. You have not cared for them, but I will take care to punish your evil

deeds. I myself will gather the remnant of my

flock from all the lands to which I have driven

them and bring them back to their meadow; there they shall increase and multiply. I will appoint shepherds for them who

will shepherd them so that they need no longer fear and

tremble; and none shall be missing, says the

LORD. Behold, the days are coming, says

the LORD, when I will raise up a righteous shoo

t to David; as king he shall reign and govern

wisely, he shall do what is just and right in

the land. In his days Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell in security. This is the name they give him: "The LORD our justice."

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm Ps 23:1-3, 3-4, 5, 6

R. (1) The Lord is my shepherd; there

is nothing I shall want.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not

want.

In verdant pastures he gives me repose;

beside restful waters he leads me;

he refreshes my soul.

R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is

nothing I shall want.

He guides me in right paths

for his name's sake.

Even though I walk in the dark valley

I fear no evil; for you are at my side

with your rod and your staff

that give me courage.

R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is

nothing I shall want.

You spread the table before me

in the sight of my foes;

you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is

nothing I shall want.

Only goodness and kindness follow

all the days of my life;

and I shall dwell in the house of the

LORD

for years to come.

R. The Lord is my shepherd; there

is nothing I shall want.

2nd Reading Eph 2:13-18

Brothers and sisters:

In Christ Jesus you who once were

far off

have become near by the blood of

Christ.

For he is our peace, he who made

both one

and broke down the dividing wall of

enmity, through his flesh,

abolishing the law with its

commandments and legal claims,

that he might create in himself one

new person in place of the two,

thus establishing peace,

and might reconcile both with God,

in one body, through the cross,

putting that enmity to death by it.

He came and preached peace to

you who were far off

and peace to those who were near,

for through him we both have access

in one Spirit to the Father.

The Word of the Lord,

~Thanks be to God

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord;

I know them, and they follow me.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Gospel Mk 6:30-34

The apostles gathered together

with Jesus

and reported all they had done

and taught.

He said to them,

“Come away by yourselves to a

deserted place and rest a while.”

People were coming and going

in great numbers,

and they had no opportunity

even to eat.

So they went off in the boat by

themselves to a deserted place.

People saw them leaving and many

came to know about it.

They hastened there on foot from

all the towns

and arrived at the place before them.

When he disembarked and saw

the vast crowd,

his heart was moved with pity for

them,

for they were like sheep without a

shepherd;

and he began to teach them many

things.
