Seventeenth Sunday in
Ordinary Time
Introduction to the Liturgy of the
Day:
We gather today to celebrate the Eucha-
rist as we do each Sunday, to be nourished by Christ’s
Body and Blood. In the Gospel, we hear one of Jesus’
most familiar miracles, the multiplication of the loaves
and fish. But every time we celebrate the Eucharist we
witness another miracle, the transformation of bread
and wine into Jesus’ Body and Blood. May it nourish
