Ordinary Time – Year B
5:00 pm Novena to Our Lady

First Reading
First Kings 19:4-8
4 He himself went on
into the desert, a day's journey, and sitting under a furze bush wished he were
dead. 'Yahweh,' he said, 'I have had enough. Take my life; I am no better than
my ancestors.'
5 Then he lay down and
went to sleep. Then all of a sudden an angel touched him and said, 'Get up and
eat.'
6 He looked round, and
there at his head was a scone baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. He ate
and drank and then lay down again.
7 But the angel of
Yahweh came back a second time and touched him and said, 'Get up and eat, or
the journey will be too long for you.'
8 So he got up and ate
and drank, and strengthened by that food he walked for forty days and forty
nights until he reached Horeb, God's mountain.

PSALMS 34:2-3, 4-5,
6-7, 8-9
2 I will praise Yahweh
from my heart; let the humble hear and rejoice.
3 Proclaim with me the
greatness of Yahweh, let us acclaim his name together.
4 I seek Yahweh and he
answers me, frees me from all my fears.
5 Fix your gaze on
Yahweh and your face will grow bright, you will never hang your head in shame.
6 A pauper calls out
and Yahweh hears, saves him from all his troubles.
7 The angel of Yahweh
encamps around those who fear him, and rescues them.
8 Taste and see that
Yahweh is good. How blessed are those who take refuge in him.
9 Fear Yahweh, you his
holy ones; those who fear him lack for nothing.
Second Reading
Ephesians 4:30, 5:2
30 do not grieve the
Holy Spirit of God who has marked you with his seal, ready for the day when we
shall be set free.
2 and follow Christ by
loving as he loved you, giving himself up for us as an offering and a
sweet-smelling sacrifice to God.

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
John 6:41-51
41 Meanwhile the Jews
were complaining to each other about him, because he had said, 'I am the bread
that has come down from heaven.'
42 They were saying,
'Surely this is Jesus son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know. How can
he now say, "I have come down from heaven?" '
43 Jesus said in reply
to them, 'Stop complaining to each other.
44 'No one can come to
me unless drawn by the Father who sent me, and I will raise that person up on
the last day.
45 It is written in the
prophets: They will all be taught by God; everyone who has listened to the
Father, and learnt from him, comes to me.
46 Not that anybody has
seen the Father, except him who has his being from God: he has seen the Father.
47 In all truth I tell
you, everyone who believes has eternal life.
48 I am the bread of
life.
49 Your fathers ate
manna in the desert and they are dead;
50 but this is the bread
which comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat it and not die.
51 I am the living bread
which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever;
and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world.'

Gospel of the Lord”
