Qari

Dewteronomju 8: 2-3, 14-16

8:2 And you shall remember the entire journey along which the Lord your God led you, for forty years through the desert, to afflict you, and to test you, and to make known the things that were turning in your soul, whether or not you would keep his commandments.

8:3 He afflicted you with need, and he gave you Manna as your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew, so as to reveal to you that it is not by bread alone that man lives, but by every word that goes forth from the mouth of God.

8:14 your heart might be lifted up, and you might not remember the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude,

8:15 and who was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent with a burning breath, and the scorpion, and the snake of thirst, and no waters at all. He led streams out of the hardest rock,

8:16 and he nourished you in the wilderness with Manna, which your fathers had not known. And after he had afflicted and tested you, in the very end, he took pity on you.

First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians 10: 16-17

10:16 The cup of benediction that we bless, is it not a communion in the Blood of Christ? And the bread that we break, is it not a participation in the Body of the Lord?

10:17 Through the one bread, aħna, though many, are one body: all of us who are partakers of the one bread.

Evanġelju

L-Evanġelju Qaddis Skont Ġwanni 6: 51-58

6:51	Jien il-ħobż ħaj, li niżel mis-sema.
6:52	Jekk xi ħadd jiekol minn dan il-ħobż, hu għandu jgħix fl-eternità. U l-ħobż li nagħti hu ġismi, għall-ħajja tad-dinja.”
6:53	Għalhekk, il-Lhud iddiskutew bejniethom, qal, “Kif jista’ dan ir-raġel jagħtina laħamu x’nieklu?”
6:54	U għalhekk, Ġesù qalilhom: “Ammen, amen, Jien ngħidlek, sakemm ma tiekolx il-laħam ta’ Bin il-bniedem u tixrob demmu, ma jkollokx il-ħajja fik.
6:55	Min jiekol ġismi u jixrob demmi għandu l-ħajja ta’ dejjem, u nqajjem lilu fl-aħħar jum.
6:56	Għax ġismi huwa ikel veru, u demmi hu xarba vera.
6:57	Min jiekol ġismi u jixrob demmi jibqa’ fija, u jien fih.
6:58	Bħalma bagħatni l-Missier il-ħaj u jien ngħix minħabba l-Missier, hekk ukoll min jiekolni, l-istess jgħix minħabba fija.
