THE GOSPEL
John 6:41-51Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.
They
went on
murmuring.
Bread, they said?
Coming down from heaven?
Well, we know his mother and father.
They live down the
street!
Jesus
answered:
forget about
knowing.
It’s about believing.
Believe
that I love you,
that I give my life for you,
not just to get you across the desert,
but because I want you
to be a part of me
forever.
And I want you to take me with you
and let me transform the
world through
you.
Christ, we do our best 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, Lord,
not a hearth cake,
that we need you for our food,
for courage to leave the broom trees
of our comfort zones.
Be our
strength for
the miles to come.
THE SECOND READING
Ephesians 4:30-5:2
Live in love, as Christ loved us.
Holy Spirit,
Help us repair our wrongs
wherever we find them. …
In our ecosystems,
& discrimination,
and neglect
of the
poor.
As Christ loved us, let us love one another.
Let us “be kind to one another,
and compassionate,
forgiving one
another
as God has
forgiven
us
in
Christ.”
