THE GOSPEL
John 6:41-51Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.
They
went on
murmuring.
Bread, you say?
Coming down from heaven?
Well, we know his mother and father.
They live down the street!
Jesus
answers:
forget knowing.
It’s about believing,
Believe
that I love you,
that I give my life for you,
that I want you to be a part of me
forever.
Jesus, we do try to believe.
Be our food and drink!
Be our
everything!
THE FIRST READING
1 Kings 19:4-8
Elijah looked and there at his head was a hearth cake
and a jug of water.
O God,
we know about Elijah.
We know his
cry:
“It is enough, O Lord!
Take my life!”
But
It is you,
not a hearth cake,
that we want for our food;
courage to leave our broom trees
and
go ahead on
the miles to come.
THE SECOND READING
Ephesians 4:30-5:2
Live in love, as Christ loved us.
“Christ handed himself over for us as a sacrificial
offering.”
Then let us be Eucharistia for one another
within the deserts of
our lives.
Give us “to be kind to each other,
and compassionate,
forgiving one
another
as God has
forgiven
us in
Christ.”
