First Reading

Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14b-16a

How to approach it

Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.

2And you shall remember all the way through which the Lord your God has brought you for forty years through the desert, to afflict you and to prove you, and that the things that were in your heart might be made known, whether you would keep his commands or no.

3He troubled you with want, and gave you manna for your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew: to show that m not in bread alone does man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.

Psalm

Psalm 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20

How to pray it

The psalm is meant to be prayed, not rushed. If the wording feels older, focus on the main movement of the prayer: trust, praise, sorrow, gratitude, or hope.

Second Reading

1 Corinthians 10:16-17

How to read it

This reading often teaches Christians how to live with steadiness, charity, and faith. Look for one clear encouragement or warning you can carry into the day.

16The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ$1 And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord$1

17For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.

Gospel

John 6:51-58

What to watch for

The Gospel is the center of the reading set. Pay close attention to what Jesus says, what Jesus does, and what response he is asking for.

51I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

52If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.

53The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

54Then Jesus said to them: Truly, truly I say to you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.

55He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, has eternal life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

56For my flesh is food indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.

57He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, remains in me, and I in him.

58As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.
