Almighty ever-living and ever-loving God,
whom taught by the Holy Spirit we dare to call our Father,
bring, we pray, to perfection in our hearts
the spirit of adoption as your sons and daughters
that we may merit to enter into the inheritance
which you have promised.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit
one God forever and ever, amen.
- [Congregation] Amen.
- A reading from the first book of Kings.
Elijah went a day's journey into the desert,
until he came to a broom tree and sat beneath it.
He prayed for death saying, "This is enough, O' Lord.
"Take my life for I am no better than my fathers."
He lay down and fell asleep under the broom tree,
but then an angel touched him
and ordered him to get up and eat.
Elijah looked and there at his head was a hearth cake
and a jug of water.
After he ate and drank, he lay down again,
but the Angel of the Lord came back a second time,
touched him, and ordered,
"Get up and eat else the journey will be too long for you>."
He got up, ate, and drank.
Then strengthened by that food, he walked forty days
and forty nights to the mountain of God, Horeb.
The word of the Lord.
- [Congregation] Thanks be to, God.

- A reading from the letter
of Saint Paul to the Ephesians.
Brothers and sisters,
do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
with which you were sealed for the day of redemption.
All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling
must be removed from you, along with all malice,
and be kind to one another, compassionate,
forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.
So be imitators of God, as beloved children,
and live in love as Christ loved us
and handed himself over for us
as a sacrificial offering to God for a fragrant aroma.
The word of the Lord.
- [Congregation] Thanks be to God.

- A reading from the Holy Gospel According to John.
- [Congregation] Glory to you, O' Lord.
- The Jews murmured about Jesus because he said,
"I am the bread that came down from heaven,"
and they said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph?
"Do we not know his father and mother?
"Then how can he say,
"I have come down from heaven?"
Jesus answered and said to them,
"Stop murmuring among yourselves.
"No one can come to me unless
"the Father who sent me draw him,
"and I will raise him on the last day.
"It is written in the prophets.
"They shall all be taught by God.
"Everyone who listens to my Father
"and learns from him comes to me.
"Not that anyone has seen the Father
"except the one who is from God
"he has seen the Father.
"Amen, amen, I say to you,
"whoever believes has eternal life.
"I am the bread of life.
"Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died.
"This is the bread that comes down from heaven
"so that one may eat it and not die.
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven.
"Whoever eats this bread will live forever,
"and the bread that I will give
"is my flesh for the life of the world."
The gospel of the Lord.
- [Congregation] Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
- Sometimes, we need to hear
straight talk about important truths.
For example, God is good.
Sin is bad.
Sometimes those those simple statements
can help make us stop and realize what's important.
The miracle of the loaves and fishes with that
Jesus expected that the Israelites would recognize him,
and that they would see in that miracle
that he had something more to give.
That he not only fed thousands,
but that he indeed was the bread
that came down from Heaven.
He's trying to speak in very simple terms to them;
straightforward, "I am the bread of life.
"I am the living bread that came down from Heaven."
But the leaders they objected.
They said, "He can't be he's too ordinary.
"He's a human being.
"He's born of Joseph and Mary."
They looked to what they saw just the physical,
and didn't see beyond that.
Because of that he was just an ordinary person.
Jesus is even showing you know that
how difficult it was for them to accept him
as the Son of God, as the bread of life
even while he was with them,
how much it's going to be in the future as well
for those who are gonna have a hard time
believing in the Eucharist
because the Eucharist is something plain
and simple ordinary bread and wine.
Yet, it becomes for us the very body,
blood, soul, and divinity of Christ.
Yes, because he is the life of the world.
So, he says to them as they're murmuring,
he says, "Stop murmuring among yourselves."
Then he says, "Everyone who listens to my Father
"and learns from him comes to me."
Then he says, "And whoever believes has eternal life."
First, we must listen to the Lord and we must believe.
Remember last week we talked about
Jesus is setting the foundation,
that in order for us to accept him in the holy Eucharist,
we first and foremost have to believe
that he is the Son of God.
We have to believe.
We have to listen to the Father
as the Father continues to tell us.
Basically, what he's telling them is that these leaders
they don't listen and they don't believe
because they're stuck in the past.
They're stuck in the way that they knew things,
and that they just couldn't get out of that rut.
Because what Jesus was saying was so revolutionary
that he indeed came down from Heaven.
That was difficult for them.
So, you see without faith
Jesus was just another ordinary person,
but with faith Jesus is the Son of God.
Without faith the bread and wine
that we used in the Eucharist to become
Jesus' body, blood, and soul, and divinity
without faith the bread and wine
is simply just that, bread and wine.
But with faith we know that it is
the flesh of Jesus for the life of the world.
As Jesus said at the end of the gospel,
remember I was saying while he was with them
there was no Eucharist because he is the bread of life.
He's there.
There's no need for the Eucharist
as we celebrate because they have Jesus.
He said, "The bread that I will give."
There's the testimony right there.
This is the heart of our Eucharistic theology is here,
comes straight from the mouth of Jesus,
"The bread that I will give is my flesh
"for the life of the world."
It's not symbol.
It's not sign.
It's not a pious remembrance.
He said, "The bread that I will give is my flesh,"
and that's what we celebrate today,
and so we believe,
and because we believe,
Jesus continues to give for us.
Together we profess our faith
using the Apostle's Creed.
- [Congregation] I believe in God,
the Father Almighty creator of Heaven and Earth
and in Jesus Christ his only Son,
our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to Heaven and is seated
at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting, amen.
- The Lord who hears the cry of the poor
to him let us offer our prayers and petitions.
- That all who serve the church
may lead us in the gospel way of love,
we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord, hear our prayer.
- That all peoples of the world may honor one another
as beloved children of God we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord, hear our prayer.
- That God will bless the work of those
who provide food and shelter to the poor,
the needy, the lost, and the desperate
we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord, hear our prayer.
- That our gathering to celebrate Jesus,
the bread of life, may make our parish community
of compassion, forgiveness, and peace we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord, hear our prayer.
- Father of mercy, we place these prayers before you.
As you have become bread for us,
make us bread for one another.
As your Spirit instills in us your love and peace,
let us mirror that love and peace to one another.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen. - Amen.
(soft piano music)
- Pray, my sisters and brothers, that my sacrifice and yours
may be acceptable to God, the Almighty Father.
- [Congregation] May the Lord accept the sacrifice
at your hands for the praise and glory of his name
for our good and the good of all his holy church.
- Be pleased, Lord, to accept the offerings of your church.
For in your mercy you have given them to be offered,
and by your power you transform them
into the mystery of our salvation through Christ our Lord.
- [Congregation] Amen.
- The Lord be with you.
- [Congregation] And with your spirit.
- Lift up your hearts.
- [Congregation] We lift them up to the Lord.
- Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
- [Congregation] It is right and just.
- It is truly right and just to give you thanks
and raise to you a hymn of glory and praise, O' Lord
Father of infinite goodness.
For by the word of your Son's gospel,
you have brought together one church
from every people, tongue, and nation,
and having filled her with life
by the power of the Spirit,
you never cease through her to gather
the whole human race into one.
Manifesting the covenant of your love,
she dispenses without ceasing
the blessed hope of your kingdom
and shines bright as the sign of your faithfulness
which in Christ Jesus, our Lord,
you promised would last for eternity,
and so with all the powers of Heaven
we worship you constantly on Earth
while with all the church as one voice we acclaim.

Blessed indeed is your Son present in our midst.
When we are gathered by his love,
and when as once for the disciples so now for us,
he opens the scriptures and breaks the bread.
Therefore, Father, most merciful, we ask
that you send forth your Holy Spirit
to sanctify these gifts of bread and wine
that they may become for us
the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
On the day before he was to suffer
on the night of the last supper, he took bread
and said the blessing, broke the bread
and gave it to his disciples saying,
"Take this all of you and eat of it.
"For this is my body,
"which will be given up for you."
In a similar way when supper was ended,
he took the chalice, gave you thanks
and gave the chalice to his disciples saying,
"Take this all of you and drink from it.
"For this is the chalice of my blood,
"the blood of the new and eternal covenant,
"which will be poured out for you and for many
"for the forgiveness of sins.
"Do this in memory of me."
