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. Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9 Second Reading: Ephesians 4:30—5:2 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. Gospel: John 6:41-51 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.” La Palabra en Nuestra Vidas 8 de agosto de 2021 XIX Domingo Ordinario Primera Lectura: 1 Reyes 19, 4-8 En aquellos tiempos, caminó Elías por el desierto un día entero y finalmente se sentó bajo un árbol de retama, sintió deseos de morir y dijo: “Basta ya, Señor. Quítame la vida, pues yo no valgo más que mis padres”. Después se recostó y se quedó dormido. Pero un ángel del Señor llegó a despertarlo y le dijo: “Levántate y come”. Elías abrió los ojos y vio a su cabecera un pan cocido en las brasas y un jarro de agua. Después de comer y beber, se volvió a recostar y se durmió. Por segunda vez, el ángel del Señor lo despertó y le dijo: “Levántate y come, porque aún te queda un largo camino”. Se levantó Elías. Comió y bebió. Y con la fuerza de aquel alimento, caminó cuarenta días y cuarenta noches hasta el Horeb, el monte de Dios. Salmo Responsorial: Salmo 33:2-9 Segunda Lectura: Efesios 4, 30—5, 2 Hermanos: No le causen tristeza al Espíritu Santo, con el que Dios los ha marcado para el día de la liberación final. Destierren de ustedes la aspereza, la ira, la indignación, los insultos, la maledicencia y toda clase de maldad. Sean buenos y comprensivos, y perdónense los unos a los otros, como Dios los perdonó, por medio de Cristo. Imiten, pues, a Dios como hijos queridos. Vivan amando como Cristo, que nos amó y se entregó por nosotros, como ofrenda y víctima de fragancia agradable a Dios. Evangelio: Juan 6, 41-51 En aquel tiempo, los judíos murmuraban contra Jesús, porque había dicho: “Yo soy el pan vivo que ha bajado del cielo”, y decían: “¿No es éste, Jesús, el hijo de José? ¿Acaso no conocemos a su padre y a su madre? ¿Cómo nos dice ahora que ha bajado del cielo?” Jesús les respondió: “No murmuren. Nadie puede venir a mí, si no lo atrae el Padre, que me ha enviado; y a ése yo lo resucitaré el último día. Está escrito en los profetas: Todos serán discípulos de Dios. Todo aquel que escucha al Padre y aprende de él, se acerca a mí.
