Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel - St. Thomas More August 05, 2018 Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Theme/Call To Worship Jesus is the true bread from heaven sent down by God to feed us for eternal life. Introduction To The Word Exodus 16:2-4, 12-15: Today’s first reading takes place in the early stages of Israel’s journey through the desert when the tension and panic were so high that talk of a “famine” resounded among the Israelites. God intervened on Moses’ behalf, assuring Moses he would “rain down bread from heaven” not only to feed his people but also to “test” the Israelites. The divine action of sending bread from heaven became an important defining moment in Israel’s sacred story and cultic identity. Ephesians 4:17, 20-24: In the second reading from Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians, Paul urged the Ephesians to “be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new self, created in God’s way in righteousness and holiness of truth.” John 6:24-35: In today’s Gospel Jesus teaches three important points. First, focus on the food that feeds you for “eternal life.” Second, our role in the “work of God” is simply to “believe in the one he sent.” The crowds’ request for a sign from Jesus leads to his third and most important point: the very same God who originally sent bread from heaven through Moses to the Israelites in the desert now sends “bread ... from heaven” that “gives life to the world.” Adapted from Liturgical Publications Inc, Connect!
