FAITH BOOK

BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST

- June 22, 2025

Genesis 14: 18-20; Psalm 110: 1-4; I Cor 11: 23-26 Luke 9: 11b-17

By Jude Siciliano, OP

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

 From today’s Gospel reading:

Then taking the fine loaves and the two fish,

and looking up to heaven, Jesus said the blessing over them,

broke them and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd

Reflection:

Trusting in our God, who constantly nourishes us, we bring our hungers to the eucharistic celebration today. We also name the hungers of our world. Like the fleeing Israelites fed in the desert, the Middle East and Europe are swamped with modern, desperate refugees also fleeing tyrants and pursuing armies.

So, we ask ourselves:

• What personal hunger do I ask the Lord to feed at today’s Eucharist?

• What hungers of others do I need to address in the Lord’s name?
