1st Reading Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14B-16A
Moses said to the people: "Remember how for forty years now the LORD, your God, has directed all your journeying in the desert, so as to test you by affliction and find out whether or not it was your intention to keep his commandments. He therefore let you be afflicted with hunger, and then fed you with manna, a food unknown to you and your fathers, in order to show you that not by bread alone does one live, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the LORD.
"Do not forget the LORD, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery; who guided you through the vast and terrible desert with its saraph serpents and scorpions, its parched and waterless ground; who brought forth water for you from the flinty rock and fed you in the desert with manna, a food unknown to your fathers."
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20
V. Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion. For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
V. He has granted peace in your borders; with the best of wheat he fills you. He sends forth his command to the earth; swiftly runs his word!
V. He has proclaimed his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel. He has not done thus for any other nation; his ordinances he has not made known to them. Alleluia.
2nd Reading 1 Corinthians 10:16-17
Brothers and sisters: The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because the loaf of bread is one, we, though many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf.
Sequence Lauda Sion
1. Lo! the angels’ food is given 3. Very bread, good shepherd tend us, To the pilgrim who hath striven; Jesus, of they love befriend us, See the children’s bread from heaven, Thou refresh us, thou defend us, Which on dogs may not be spent. Thine eternal goodness send us In the land of life to see.
2. Truth the ancient types fulfilling, 4. Thou who all things canst and knowest, Isaac bound, a victim willing, Who on earth such food bestowest, Paschal lamb, its life blood spilling, Grant us with thy saints, though lowest, Manna to the fathers sent. Where the heav’nly feast thou showest, Fellow heirs and guests to be.

Gospel John 6:51-58
Jesus said to the Jewish crowds: "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."
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever."

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
Communion Hymn: O Salutaris Hostia (WERNER)
Communion Hymn: Adoro te Devote
1. Adoro te devote, latens Deitas, 1. God with hidden majesty, lies in presence here, Quæ sub his figuris vere latitas; I with deep devotion my true God revere: Tibi se cor meum totum subjicit, Whom this outward shape and form secretly contains, Quia te contemplans totum deficit. Christ in his divinity manhood still retains.
2. Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur, 2. All my other senses, cannot now perceive, Sed auditu solo tuto creditur. But my hearing, taught by faith, always will believe: Credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius; I accept whatever God the Son has said: Nil hoc verbo veritátis verius. Those who hear the word of God by the truth are fed.
3. In cruce latebat sola Deitas, 3. God lay stretched upon the cross, only man could die. At hic latet simul et Humanitas, Here upon the altar God and man both lie; Ambo tamen credens atque confitens, This I firmly hold as true, this is my belief, Peto quod petivit latro pœnitens. And I seek salvation, like the dying theif.
4. Plagas, sicut Thomas, non intueor: 4. Wounds that doubting Thomas saw I could never see, Deum tamen meum te confiteor. But I still acknowledge you my true God to be; Fac me tibi semper magis credere, Grant that I shall always keep strong in faith and trust, In te spem habere, te diligere. Guided by my Savior, merciful and just.
5. O memoriale mortis Domini! 5. Blest reminder of the death suffered for the world, Panis vivus, vitam præstans homini! Sacrament of living bread, health to ev’ry mind, Præsta meæ menti de te vívere, Let my soul approach you, live within your grace Et te illi semper dulce sapere. Let me taste the perfect joys time shall not efface.
6. Pie Pelicane, Jesu Domine, 6. Bring the tender tale true of the Pelican; Me immundum munda tuo sanguine: Bathe me, Jesu Lord, in what Thy bosom ran Cujus una stilla salvum facere Blood whereof a single drop has power to win Totum mundum quit ab omni scelere. All the world forgiveness of its world of sin.
7. Jesu, quem velatum nunc aspicio, 7. Jesu, whom I look at shrouded here below, Oro, fiat illud quod tam sitio: I beseech thee send me what I thirst for so, Ut te revelata cernens facie, Some day to gaze on thee face to face in light Visu sim beátus tuæ gloriæ. (Amen.) And be blest for ever with Thy glory's sight. Amen.
