Ordinary Time – Year B
5:00 pm Novena to Our Lady
5:30 pm Sunset Mass in English
First Reading
Proverbs 9:1-6
1 Wisdom has built
herself a house, she has hewn her seven pillars,
2 she has slaughtered
her beasts, drawn her wine, she has laid her table.
3 She has despatched
her maidservants and proclaimed from the heights above the city,
4 'Who is simple? Let
him come this way.' To the fool she says,
5 'Come and eat my
bread, drink the wine which I have drawn!
6 Leave foolishness
behind and you will live, go forwards in the ways of perception.'
“The
Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 34:2-3, 10-11,
12-13, 14-15
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.
10 Young lions may go
needy and hungry, but those who seek Yahweh lack nothing good.
11 Come, my children,
listen to me, I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
12 Who among you
delights in life, longs for time to enjoy prosperity?
13 Guard your tongue
from evil, your lips from any breath of deceit.
14 Turn away from evil
and do good, seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of Yahweh
are on the upright, his ear turned to their cry.
Second Reading
Ephesians 5:15-20
15 So be very careful
about the sort of lives you lead, like intelligent and not like senseless
people.
16 Make the best of the
present time, for it is a wicked age.
17 This is why you must
not be thoughtless but must recognise what is the will of the Lord.
18 Do not get drunk with
wine; this is simply dissipation; be filled with the Spirit.
19 Sing psalms and hymns
and inspired songs among yourselves, singing and chanting to the Lord in your
hearts,
20 always and everywhere
giving thanks to God who is our Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
John 6:51-58
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.'
52 Then the Jews started
arguing among themselves, 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?'
53 Jesus replied to
them: In all truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54 Anyone who does eat
my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up
on the last day.
55 For my flesh is real
food and my blood is real drink.
56 Whoever eats my flesh
and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person.
57 As the living Father
sent me and I draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will also draw life
from me.
58 This is the bread
which has come down from heaven; it is not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead, but anyone who eats this bread will live for ever.
