Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading Dt 8:2-3, 14b-16a
Moses said to the people:
"Remember how for forty years now
the LORD, your God,
has directed all your journeying in the
desert,
so as to test you by affliction
and find out whether or not it was your
intention
to keep his commandments.
He therefore let you be afflicted with
hunger,
and then fed you with manna,
a food unknown to you and your fathers,
in order to show you that not by bread
alone does one live,
but by every word that comes forth from
the mouth of the LORD.
"Do not forget the LORD, your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
that place of slavery;
who guided you through the vast and
terrible desert
with its saraph serpents and scorpions,
its parched and waterless ground;
who brought forth water for you from
the flinty rock
and fed you in the desert with manna,
a food unknown to your fathers."
~Thanks be to God

2nd Reading 1 Cor 10:16-17
Brothers and sisters:
The cup of blessing that we bless,
is it not a participation in the
blood of Christ?
The bread that we break,
is it not a participation in the
body of Christ?
Because the loaf of bread is one,
we, though many, are one body,
for we all partake of the one loaf.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
I am the living bread that came down
from heaven, says the Lord;
whoever eats this bread will live forever.
Gospel Jn 6:51-58
Jesus said to the Jewish crowds:
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
The Jews quarreled among themselves,
saying,
"How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
Jesus said to them,
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my
blood
has eternal life, and I will raise him on the
last day.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is
true drink.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my
blood
remains in me and I in him.
Just as the living Father sent me
and I have life because of the Father,
so also the one who feeds on me
will have life because of me.
This is the bread that came down from
heaven.
Unlike your ancestors who ate and
still died,
whoever eats this bread will live forever."

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.
