Greeting

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.

Lord have Mercy,

Christ have Mercy,

Lord have Mercy

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."


The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God



Responsorial Psalm Ps 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20


R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.

Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem;

praise your God, O Zion.

For he has strengthened the bars
of your gates;

he has blessed your children
within you..

R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.

He has granted peace in your borders;

with the best of wheat he fills you.

He sends forth his command
to the earth; swiftly runs his word!er..

R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.

He has proclaimed his word to Jacob,

his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.

He has not done thus for any other nation;

his ordinances he has not made known

to them. Alleluia.

R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.



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.


The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God

Alleluia 


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.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.


Gospel Jn 6:51-58

Jesus said to the Jewish crowds:

"I am the living bread that came down from heaven;

whoever eats this bread will live
forever; and the bread
that I will give is my flesh for the life
of the world."


The Jews quarreled among themselves,

saying,

"How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

Jesus said to them,

"Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the
Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.

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."


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.

Communion Song:























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.
