The manna was symbolic of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, Who is the Bread of Life.

“It was a sign of an altogether different kind of food, a different kind of nourishment on a different level entirely. A food that endures forever and this is the real food that Jesus has come to offer.”

 

The Lord gave them bread from heaven.

The whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

The Lord said, “I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites.”

…when the dew evaporated, there on the surface of the desert were fine flakes like hoarfrost on the ground.
On seeing it, the Israelites asked one another, “What is this?”

for they did not know what it was. But Moses told them,

“This is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.”

 

Do not work for food that perishes
but for the food that endures for eternal life,
which the Son of Man will give you.

“This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.”

So they said to him,
“What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you?

What can you do?

Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written:
He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”

So Jesus said to them,

“Amen, amen, I say to you,
it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven;
my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world.”

So they said to him,
“Sir, give us this bread always.”
Jesus said to them,

“I am the bread of life;

whoever comes to me will never hunger,

and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”

AMEN

“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish;
but what good are these for so many?”
Jesus said, “Have the people recline.”

When they had had their fill, Jesus said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”

A man came from Baal-shalishah bringing to Elisha, the man of God, twenty barley loaves made from the firstfruits, and fresh grain in the ear.Elisha said,“Give it to the people to eat.”

But his servant objected,

“How can I set this before a hundred people?”

Elisha insisted, “Give it to the people to eat.”

“For thus says the LORD,

‘They shall eat and there shall be some left over.’”
And when they had eaten, there was some left over,

as the LORD had said.

The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

Live in a manner worthy of the call you have received,

with all humility and gentleness, with patience,

bearing with one another through love,

striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace:

one body and one Spirit,

as you were also called to the one hope of your call;

one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

one God and Father of all,

who is over all and through all and in all.

AMEN

and

AMEN

GOD BLESS YOU

So the men reclined, about five thousand in number.

Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks,
and distributed them to those who were reclining,
and also as much of the fish as they wanted.

So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place.

Woe to the shepherds
who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture,
says the LORD. – Jeremiah 23:1

I will appoint shepherds for them who will shepherd them
so that they need no longer fear and tremble;
and none shall be missing, says the LORD. – Jeremiah 23:4

from Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.

In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul.

GOD BLESS YOU

Healing the sick

Compassion and healing

And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

The Church believes and confesses that among the seven sacraments there is one especially intended to strengthen those who are being tried by illness, the Anointing of the Sick:
This sacred anointing of the sick was instituted by Christ our Lord as a true and proper sacrament of the New Testament. It is alluded to indeed by Mark, but is recommended to the faithful and promulgated by James the apostle and brother of the Lord.

Amen
Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation. AMEN

You are being called to something big.
