Liturgy of the Word

Collect

Moses said to the people: “Remember how for forty years now the Lord, your God, has directed all your journeying in the desert, so as to test you by affliction and find out whether or not it was your intention to keep his commandments. He therefore let you be afflicted with hunger, and then fed you with manna, a food unknown to you and your fathers, in order to show you that not by bread alone does one live, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the Lord.

“Do not forget the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery; who guided you through the vast and terrible desert with its saraph serpents and scorpions, its parched and waterless ground; who brought forth water for you from the flinty rock and fed you in the desert with manna, a food unknown to your fathers.”

Lector: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 147.12-13, 14-15, 19-20

Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem;praise your God, O Zion.For he has strengthened the bars of your gates;he has blessed your children within you. Response.

He has granted peace in your borders;with the best of wheat he fills you.He sends forth his command to the earth;swiftly runs his word! Response.

He has proclaimed his word to Jacob,his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.He has not done thus for any other nation;his ordinances he has not made known to them. Alleluia. Response.

Second Reading 1 Corinthians 10.16-17Brothers and sisters: The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because the loaf of bread is one, we, though many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf.

Lector: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation

Gospel John 6.51-58

Deacon: The Lord be with you. People: And with your spirit.

Deacon: A reading from the holy Gospel according to John. People: Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus said to the Jewish crowds: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”

The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just 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. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord. People: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord;whoever eats this bread will live forever. Response.

Homily

Sequence Laud, O ZionZion, praise thy Savior, singing hymns with exultation ringing, praise thy King and Shepherd true. Honor Christ, thy voice upraising who surpasseth all thy praising, never canst thou reach his due.

Let the Bread, lifegiving, living, be our theme of glad thanksgiving, now in truth before thee set; As of old the Lord provided when the twelve, divinely guided, at the holy table met.

What he did, at supper seated, Christ ordained to be repeated, his memorial ne’er to cease; His command for guidance taking, bread and wine we hallow, making thus our sacrifice of peace.

Full and clear sing out thy praising, gracious hymns of joy upraising in thy heart and soul today; For today the new oblation of the new King’s revelation bids us feast in glad array.

Very Bread, good Shepherd, tend us, Jesus of thy love befriend us, Lord, refresh us and defend us, thine eternal goodness send us in the land of life to see:

Thou, who all things canst and knowest, who on earth such food bestowest, grant us, with thy saints, though lowest, where the heavenly feast thou showest, fellow heirs and guests to be.

Profession of Faith (spoken slowly and reverently)

The Bidding Prayers

The CollectionThe offering taken today is for the support of the parish and for Seminarians.

I believe in one God,the Father almighty,maker of heaven and earth,of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,the Only Begotten Son of God,born of the Father before all ages.God from God, Light from Light,true God from true God,begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;through him all things were made.For us men and for our salvationhe came down from heaven,

Bow profoundly during these two lines:

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,he suffered death and was buried,and rose again on the third dayin accordance with the Scriptures.He ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in gloryto judge the living and the deadand his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,who proceeds from the Father and the Son,who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sinsand I look forward to the resurrection of the deadand the life of the world to come. Amen.

Communion Motets

Ave verum corpus WA Mozart

Translation of the Latin:Hail the true body, born of the Virgin Mary: You who truly suffered and were sacrificed on the cross for the sake of man. From whose pierced flank flowed water and blood: Be a foretaste for us in the trial of death.

Psalm 116 Anglican Chant; Tune: Lewis1 I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him. 2 The cords of death entangled me; the grip of the grave took hold of me; I came to grief and sorrow. 3 Then I called upon the Name of the Lord; “O Lord, I pray you, save my life.” 4 Gracious is the Lord and righteous; our God is full of compassion. 5 The Lord watches over the innocent; I was brought very low, and he helped me. 6 Turn again to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has treated you well. 7 For you have rescued my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling. 8 I will walk in the presence of the Lord — in the land of the living. 9 I believed, even when I said, “I have been brought very low.” In my distress I said, “No one can be trusted.” 10 How shall I repay the Lord for all the good things he has done for me? 11 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of the Lord. 12 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. 13 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his servants. 14 O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds. 15 I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call upon the Name of the Lord. 16 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people, 17 In the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
