The First Reading- Genesis 14:18-20![]()
![]()
In those days, Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine, and being a priest of God Most High, he blessed Abram with these words: "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, the creator of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who delivered your foes into your hand." Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.![]()

Reflection ![]()
At the dawn of salvation history, God revealed our future in figures. That’s what’s going on in today’s First Reading: A king and high priest comes from Jerusalem (see Psalm 76:3), offering bread and wine to celebrate the victory of God’s beloved servant, Abram, over his foes. By his offering, Melchizedek bestows God’s blessings on Abram. He is showing us, too, how one day we will receive God’s blessings and in turn “bless God”—how we will give thanks to Him for delivering us from our enemies, sin and death. The Eucharist fulfills the offering of Melchizedek. It is the daily miracle of the heavenly high priesthood of Jesus.![]()

Adults – Which most popular and well known king of Israel was also considered a priest? (Hint: He also composed most of the Psalms.)![]()
Teens – Do we ask for our parent’s blessing on what we do, or if we travel on a weekend away?![]()
Kids – What did Melchizedek bring out? Where do we see those today? ![]()

R.(4b) You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.![]()
The LORD said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand![]()
till I make your enemies your footstool."![]()
R. You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.![]()
The scepter of your power the LORD will stretch forth from Zion: "Rule in the midst of your enemies."![]()
R. You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.![]()
"Yours is princely power in the day of your birth, in holy splendor; before the daystar, like the dew, I have begotten you."![]()
R. You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.![]()
The LORD has sworn, and he will not repent:![]()
"You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek."![]()
R. You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek. Reflection Jesus is “the priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek,” that God, in today’s Psalm, swears will rule from Zion, the new Jerusalem (see Hebrews 6:20–7:3). When baptized, we are baptized priest, prophet, and king. What baptismal priestly role would you see that God calls you to? ![]()

The Second Reading- 1 Corinthians 11:23-26![]()
![]()
Brothers and sisters: I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.![]()
Reflection - As Paul recalls in today’s Epistle, Jesus transformed the sign of bread and wine, making it a sign of His Body and Blood, through which God bestows upon us the blessings of His “new covenant.” What part of your life or maybe an understand of Catholicism has been transformed by God?![]()

The Holy Gospel according to Luke 9:11B-17![]()
![]()
Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God, and he healed those who needed to be cured. As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve approached him and said, "Dismiss the crowd so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms and find lodging and provisions; for we are in a deserted place here." He said to them, "Give them some food yourselves." They replied, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have, unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people." Now the men there numbered about five thousand. Then he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty." They did so and made them all sit down. Then taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing over them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. They all ate and were satisfied. And when the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets.![]()

Reflection - By the miracle of loaves and fishes, Jesus in today’s Gospel again prefigures the blessings of the Eucharist. Notice that He takes the bread, blesses it, breaks it, and gives it to the Twelve. You find the precise order and words in the Last Supper (see Luke 22:19) and in His celebration of the Eucharist on the first Easter night (see Luke 24:30). It is a priesthood He conferred upon the Apostles in ordering them to feed the crowd, in filling exactly twelve baskets with leftover bread, in commanding them on the night He was handed over: “Do this in remembrance of Me.” Through His priests He still feeds us in “the deserted place” of our earthly exile. And by this sign He pledges to us a glory yet to come. For as often as we share in His Body and Blood, we proclaim His victory over death, until He comes again to make His victory our own.![]()

Adults – What do you do with the little bit that you might have for so many? How can I do more with that little bit? ![]()
Teens - How did 5 loaves and 2 fish feed at least 5,000 men?![]()
Kids – How many baskets of bread were left over? How many apostles were there? How many tribes of Israel?![]()

Corpus Christi Sunday – ![]()
Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Jesus![]()
Corpus Christi (Body and Blood of Christ) is a Eucharistic solemnity, or better, the solemn commemoration of the institution of that sacrament. It is, moreover, the Church's official act of homage and gratitude to Christ, who by instituting the Holy Eucharist gave to the Church her greatest treasure. Holy Thursday, assuredly, marks the anniversary of the institution, but the commemoration of the Lord's passion that very night suppresses the rejoicing proper to the occasion. Today's observance, therefore, accents the joyous aspect of Holy Thursday. The Mass and the Office for the feast was edited or composed by St. Thomas Aquinas upon the request of Pope Urban IV in the year 1264. It is unquestionably a classic piece of liturgical work, wholly in accord with the best liturgical traditions. . . It is a perfect work of art. ![]()
