THE GOSPEL
John 6:51-58Just 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
O
Christ,
be manna
for our journeys:
the food that gives us life.
You are the strength we need
for all that blocks our way,
every moment of
every day.
Be our love-source,
our life-source,
Let us live
with you forever.
THE FIRST READING
Proverbs 9:1-6
To one who lacks understanding, she says,
“Come, eat of my food, and drink of the wine I have mixed!”
Wisdom,
O know us please
and take pity.
We’re banging on your gates and
pounding on your
door.
Open
that doorway.
Call us to your feast.
Nourish us to fullness,
until we become
all that you
desire.
THE SECOND READING
Ephesians 5:15-20
Be filled with the Spirit,
… singing and playing to the Lord in your hearts
Rouse us with
your Spirit,
Lord.
Make us sing our hearts out
as brothers and sisters,
for we are so
loved.
Let us
discover you,
and give thanks
always and everywhere
for each and every
gift that you
give.
