The Most Holy Body
And Blood of Christ
He said to them, “Give them some food yourselves.”
Luke 9:13
1st Reading: Genesis 14:18-20
Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High,
brought bread and wine, blessing Abram and the creator of
heaven and earth, who delivered Abram’s enemies into his
hands.
2nd Reading: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Paul handed on the tradition that the Lord Jesus broke bread
with his disciples and drank the cup of the new covenant in his
blood. Paul wrote, “As often as you eat this bread and drink the
cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.”
Gospel: Luke 9:11-17
After teaching about God’s reign and healing those in need,
Jesus took five loaves and two fish, raised his eyes to heaven,
and blessed and broke them for his disciples to distribute to
the crowd. Afterward, leftover fragments filled twelve wicker
baskets.
Low Gluten hosts are available; please
contact the parish office at
458-6114 to inquire.
Hearing devices are available for anyone
interested in using them. They are located
in the drawer beneath the holy water font.

PATIENCE
A woman in a supermarket is following a grandfather and his
badly behaved 3 year-old grandson. It's obvious to her that he has
his hands full with the child screaming for candy, cookies, you
name it.
Meanwhile, Grandpa is working his way around, saying in a
controlled voice, "Easy William, we won't be long . . . easy,
boy." Another outburst and she hears the grandpa calmly say,
"It's okay, William, just a couple more minutes and we'll be out
of here. Hang in there, boy."
At the checkout, the little terror is throwing items out of the
cart and Grandpa says again in a controlled voice, "William,
William, relax buddy, don't get upset. We'll be home in five
minutes, stay cool, William."
Very impressed, the woman goes outside where the grandfather
is loading his groceries and the boy into the car. She says to the
elderly man, "It's none of my business, but you were amazing in
there. I don't know how you did it. That whole time you kept
your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got,
you just calmly kept saying 'things would be okay.' William is
very lucky to have you as his grandpa." "Thanks," said the
grandpa, "but I'm William. The little stinker's name is Brian."
