St. Bonaventure Catholic Community

Gathering:

2

First Reading: Deuteronomy 8:2–3, 14b–16a

Moses reminded the people that for forty years God tested

them in the desert. The Lord let them be hungry and fed them

manna, showing that God’s people do not live by bread alone.

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:16–17

By sharing in the eucharistic bread, Christians, though many, are

one body in Christ.

Gospel: John 6:51–58

Jesus told the crowds that he is the living bread come down

from heaven. All who want eternal life must “eat the flesh of the

Son of Man and drink his blood.” Jesus said, “Whoever eats my

flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.”

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,

I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things,

and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there

and unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.
