Collect
O God, who declarest thy almighty power most chiefly
in showing mercy and pity: mercifully grant unto us
such a measure of thy grace; that we, running the way
of thy commandments, may obtain thy gracious promises, and be made partakers of thy heavenly treasure;
through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and
reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever
one God, world without end. Amen.
First Reading
PSALM
34:1-2, 9-14
R/. O taste and see that the Lord is good!
I will bless the LORD at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the LORD;
let the humble hear and be glad. R/.
O fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him have no want!
The young lions suffer want and hunger;
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. R/.
Proverbs 9:1-6
Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven
pillars. She has slaughtered her beasts, she has mixed
her wine, she has also set her table. She has sent out
her maids to call from the highest places in the town,
"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" to him who
is without sense she says, "Come, eat of my bread and
drink of the wine I have mixed. Leave simpleness, and
live, and walk in the way of insight."
Come, O sons, listen to me,
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
What man is there who desires life,
and covets many days, that he may enjoy good? R/.
Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking deceit.
Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it. R/.
Second Reading
Ephesians 5:15-20
Look carefully, brethren, how you walk, not as unwise
men but as wise, making the most of the time, because
the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get
drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled
with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart, always and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ to God the Father.
V/.
Alleluia.
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood
abides in me, and I in him, says the Lord.
Alleluia.
THE HOLY GOSPEL
John 6:51-58
At that time: Jesus said to the crowds, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one
eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread
which I shall give for the life of the world is my
flesh.” The Jews then disputed among themselves,
saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his
blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh
and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise
him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed,
and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh
and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As
the living Father sent me, and I live because of the
Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.
This is the bread which came down from heaven, not
such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this
bread will live for ever."

On Further Reflection
“Where He leads me, I will follow”
Fr. Timothy Perkins
The ordination of Thomas Kennedy to the diaconate
yesterday and his upcoming ordination to priesthood
has caused me to reflect once again on the invitation
to discipleship. Our Lord Jesus himself calls every
one of us, each person of faith, “Come to me … learn
from me …” (Matthew 11:28-29). To become his
disciple means to enter into relationship with Christ
as his student, his pupil. Further, a disciple is one
who lives by a particular discipline. Hence, to come
to Jesus and enter into saving relationship with him is
to devote ourselves in submission to the Master’s authority.
In the Gospel, one of the principle ways that Jesus
speaks of this is through the simple invitation,
“Follow me.” This involves a great deal of trust. To
respond faithfully is to step forward behind our Leader in confidence that he knows the way in which to
lead us. Indeed, our Savior assures us, “I am the way,
and the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

St. Mary the Virgin is in need of at least one additional money counter to assist in pr epar ing the
Sunday collections for deposit. More than one would
be excellent! Training is provided. If you want to
help the church with a job that only takes a couple of
hours a month, call the parish office and speak to
Terry any afternoon.
New Procedure!
From now on, when an event is over and the
trash is bagged up, DO NOT PUT IT BEHIND THE BUILDING. Leave it in the
kitchen. That way the maintenance folks will
get it out to the curb on the right day. It is too
easy for trash to stack up behind the building
and get smelly and picked open by birds and
animals. It is a disservice to our neighbors as
well, since it attracts vermin. Thank you!
