• FIRST READING• (Ex 16:2-4, 12-15)

• A reading from the Book of Exodus:

• THE whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

• The Israelites said to them,• "Would that we had died at the

LORD's hand in the land of Egypt,

• as we sat by our fleshpots and ate our fill of bread!

• But you had to lead us into this desert

• to make the whole community die of famine!"

• Then the LORD said to Moses,• "I will now rain down bread from

heaven for you.

• Each day the people are to go out and gather their daily portion;

• thus will I test them,• to see whether they follow my

instructions or not.• "I have heard the grumbling of the

Israelites.• Tell them: In the evening twilight

you shall eat flesh,

• and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread,

• so that you may know that I, the LORD, am your God."

• In the evening quail came up and covered the camp.

• In the morning a dew lay all about the camp,

• and when the dew evaporated,

• there on the surface of the desert• were fine flakes like hoarfrost on

the ground.• On seeing it, the Israelites asked

one another, "What is this?"• for they did not know what it was.• But Moses told them,• "This is the bread that the LORD

has given you to eat."

• The word of the Lord.• Thanks be to God.

• RESPONSORIAL PSALM• (Psalm 78:3-4, 23-24, 25, 54)

• R/. (24b) The Lord gave them bread from heaven.

• 1) What we have heard and know,• and what our fathers have declared

to us,• We will declare to the generation to

come the glorious deeds of the Lord and his strength

• and the wonders that he wrought.• R/. (24b) The Lord gave them bread

from heaven.

• 2) He commanded the skies above• and opened the doors of heaven;• he rained manna upon them for

food• and gave them heavenly bread.• R/. (24b) The Lord gave them bread

from heaven.

• 3) Man ate the bread of angels,• food he sent them in abundance.• And he brought them to his holy land,• to the mountains his right hand had

won.• R/. (24b) The Lord gave them bread

from heaven.

• •

• Second Reading• (Eph 4:17, 20-24)

• A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians:

• BROTHERS and sisters:• I declare and testify in the Lord• that you must no longer live as the

Gentiles do,• in the futility of their minds;• that is not how you learned Christ,

• assuming that you have heard of him and were taught in him,

• as truth is in Jesus,• that you should put away the old

self of your former way of life,• corrupted through deceitful

desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new self,

• created in God's way in righteousness and holiness of truth.

• The word of the Lord.• Thanks be to God.

• ALLELUIA • (Matthew 4:4b)

• R/. Alleluia, alleluia. • One does not live on bread alone,

but by every• word that comes forth from the

mouth of God.• Alleluia, alleluia.

• GOSPEL • (Jn 6:24-35)

• The Lord be with you. • ALL: And with your spirit. • A reading from the holy Gospel

according to John.• ALL: Glory to you, Lord.

• WHEN the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there,

• they themselves got into boats• and came to Capernaum looking

for Jesus.• And when they found him across

the sea they said to him,• "Rabbi, when did you get here?"• Jesus answered them and said,

• "Amen, amen, I say to you,• you are looking for me not

because you saw signs• but because you ate the loaves

and were filled.• Do not work for food that perishes• but for the food that endures for

eternal life,• which the Son of Man will give

• For on him the Father, God, has set his seal."

• So they said to him,• "What can we do to accomplish

the works of God?"• Jesus answered and said to them,• "This is the work of God, that you

believe in the one he sent."• So they said to him,

• "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you?

• What can you do?• Our ancestors ate manna in the

desert, as it is written:• He gave them bread from heaven

to eat." So Jesus said to them,• "Amen, amen, I say to you,• it was not Moses who gave the

bread from heaven;

• my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

• For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven

• and gives life to the world."• So they said to him,• "Sir, give us this bread always."• Jesus said to them,• "I am the bread of life;

• that had been more than they could eat.

• When the people saw the sign he had done, they said,

• "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."

• Since Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry him off

• to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain alone.

• whoever comes to me will never hunger,

• and whoever believes in me will never thirst."

• The Gospel of the Lord.• Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

baptismal Symbol of the Roman Church, known as the Apostles’ Creed, may be used.

• suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died and was buried;he descended into hell;on the third day he rose again from the dead;he ascended into heaven,and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;

fount of all holiness.

• Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall,

• so that they may become for us the Body and + Blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

• At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his Passion,

• he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:

• Take this, all of you, and eat of it: for this is my Body which will be given up for you.

• In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice and, once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying:

• Take this, all of you, and drink from it: for this is the chalice of my Blood, the Blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many

sins of the world: • have mercy on us.• Lamb of God, you take away the

sins of the world: • grant us peace.

• Cel: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, • who, by the will of the Father • and the work of the Holy Spirit, • through your Death gave life to the world, • free me by this, your most holy Body and Blood, • from all my sins and from every evil; • keep me always faithful to your commandments, • and never let me be parted from you.

• EUCHARISTIC PRAYER III• You are indeed Holy, O Lord, and

all you have created rightly gives you praise, for through your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, by the power and working of the Holy Spirit, you give life to all things and make them holy, and you never cease to gather a people to yourself,

• so that from the rising of the sun to its setting a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name.

• Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you: by the same Spirit graciously make holy these gifts we have brought to you for consecration, that they may become the Body and Blood of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ at whose command we celebrate these mysteries.

• For on the night he was betrayed he himself took bread, and giving you thanks he said the blessing, broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying:

• Take this, all of you, and eat of it: for this is my Body which will be given up for you.

• In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice, and giving you thanks he said the blessing, and gave the chalice to his disciples, saying:

• Take this, all of you, and drink from it: for this is the chalice of my Blood, the Blood of the new and eternal covenant; which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Cross and Resurrection you have set us free.

• Therefore, O Lord, we celebrate the memorial of the saving Passion of your Son, his wondrous Resurrection and Ascension into heaven, and as we look forward to his second coming, we offer you in thanksgiving this holy and living sacrifice.

• Look, we pray, upon the oblation of your Church, and, recognizing the sacrificial Victim by whose death you willed to reconcile us to yourself, grant that we, who are nourished by the Body and Blood of your Son and filled with his Holy Spirit, may become one body, one spirit in Christ.

• May he make of us an eternal offering to you, so that we may obtain an inheritance with your elect, especially with the most blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,

• with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs,

• (with Saint N.: the Saint of the day or Patron Saint) and with all the Saints, on whose constant intercession in your presence we rely for unfailing help.

• May this Sacrifice of our reconciliation, we pray, O Lord, advance the peace and salvation of all the world. Be pleased to confirm in faith and charity your pilgrim Church on earth, with your servant (N) our Pope and (N) our Bishop, the Order of Bishops,

• all the clergy, and the entire people you have gained for your own.
