June 22, 2025 – MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST

+ From the Gospel according to Luke (9, 11-17)

At that time, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about the kingdom of God and to heal those who needed healing.
As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve approached him and said, “Send the crowd away so that they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and provisions; we are in a deserted place here.”
Jesus said to them, “Give them something to eat yourselves.” They replied, “We have only five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.” (For there were about five thousand men.)
He said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty.” They did so and made them all sit down.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, and blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
They all ate and were satisfied; and they took up what was left over, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
