NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIMEFirst Reading: Exodus 16:2-4, 12-15
Queen Jezebel had vowed to kill Elijah, who went into the desert and prayed for death. Instead he went to sleep and was awakened by an angel, who told him to eat the food God had given him. He ate and went back to sleep, but God’s angel again woke him and told him to eat. Strengthened by the food, he got up and walked forty days and nights to the mountain of God.
Second Reading: Ephesians 4:17, 20-24Paul appeals to the Ephesians to get rid of bitterness, anger, and malice. Instead they must be kind, compassionate, and forgiving just as God has been. We must be imitators of Christ, and love one another as he has loved us.
Gospel: John 6:24-35
The Jews were not convinced that Jesus was the bread that came down from heaven. But he again explains that he is the bread of life. He tells them that anyone who believes and eats this bread shall live forever. He explains that the bread he will give is his flesh, for the life of the world.
