Prima lettura

1 Kings 19:4-8

But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree. Then he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough. Now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers." He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat!" He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again. The LORD's angel came again the second time, and touched him, and said, "Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you." He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, God's Mountain.

Salmo responsoriale

Psalm 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9

L'anima mia si glorierà nel Signore; Gli umili l'udiranno, e si rallegreranno. Magnificate meco il Signore, Ed esaltiamo tutti insieme il suo Nome. Io ho cercato il Signore, ed egli mi ha risposto, E mi ha liberato da tutti i miei spaventi. Quelli che hanno riguardato a lui sono stati illuminati, E le lor facce non sono state svergognate. Questo povero afflitto ha gridato, e il Signore l'ha esaudito, E l'ha salvato da tutte le sue distrette. Gli Angeli del Signore sono accampati intorno a quelli che lo temono, E li liberano. Gustate, e vedete quanto il Signore è buono; Beato l'uomo che spera in lui. Temete il Signore, voi suoi santi; Poichè nulla manca a quelli che lo temono.

Seconda lettura

Ephesians 4:30-5:2

Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children. Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

Vangelo

John 6:41-51

The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven." They said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven'?" Therefore Jesus answered them, "Don't murmur among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up in the last day. It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father. Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died. This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."
