Gather Your People

Refrain Gather your people, O Lord. Gather your people, O Lord. One bread, one body, one spirit of love. Gather your people, O Lord.

1. Draw us forth to the table of life: brothers and sisters, each of us called to walk in your light.

2. We are parts of the body of Christ, needing each other, each of the gifts the Spirit provides. Text: Based on 1 Corinthians 12; Isaiah 2:3–4; 11:9. Text and music © 1991, Bob Hurd. Published by OCP. All rights reserved.

Opening Hymn

First Reading 2 Kings 4:42-44

A man came from Baal-shalishah bringing to Elisha, the man of God, twenty barley loaves made from the first fruits, 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.

Second Reading Ephesians 4:1-6

Brothers and sisters: I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to 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.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 145:10-11, 15-16, 17-18

R. (cf. 16) The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?” He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Two hundred days’ wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little.” One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, “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.” Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. 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. When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted.” So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat. When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, “This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world.” Since Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry him off to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain alone.

3. No more harm on the mountain of God; swords into plowshares. Free us, O Lord, from hardness of heart.

4. Wash us, Lord, in the waters of life; waters of mercy, waters of hope that flow from your side.

Gospel John 6:1-15

Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick. Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. The Jewish feast of Passover was near.

We Come to Your Feast

1. We place upon your table a gleaming cloth of white: the weaving of our stories, the fabric of our lives; the dreams of those before us, the ancient hopeful cries, the promise of our future: our needing and our nurture lie here before our eyes.

Refrain We come to your feast, we come to your feast: the young and the old, the frightened, the bold, the greatest and the least. We come to your feast, we come to your feast with the fruit of our lands and the work of our hands, we come to your feast.

2. We place upon your table a humble loaf of bread: the gift of field and hillside, the grain by which we're fed; we come to taste the presence of him on whom we feed, to strengthen and connect us, to challenge and correct us, to love in word and deed.

3. We place upon your table a simple cup of wine: the fruit of human labor, the gift of sun and vine; we come to taste the presence of him we claim as Lord, his dying and his living, his leading and his giving, his love in cup outpoured.

4. We gather 'round your table, we pause within our quest, we stand beside our neighbors, we name the stranger "guest." The feast is spread before us; you bid us come and dine: in blessing we'll uncover, in sharing we'll discover your substance and your sign.

2nd Communion Hymn, if needed

We Are Many Parts

We are many parts, we are all one body, and the gifts we have we are given to share. May the Spirit of love make us one indeed; one, the love that we share, one, our hope in despair, one, the cross that we bear.

1. God of all, we look to you, we would be your servants true, let us be your love to all the world. 2. So my pain is pain for you, in your joy is my joy, too; all is brought together in the Lord. 3. All you seekers, great and small, seek the greatest gift of all; if you love, then you will know the Lord.

All the Ends of the Earth

All the ends of the earth, all you creatures of the sea, lift up your eyes to the wonders of the Lord. For the Lord of the earth, the Master of the sea, has come with justice for the world.

1. Break into song at the deeds of the Lord,

the wonders he has done in ev’ry age.

Behold the Lamb Martin Willett

1. Those who were in the dark are thankful for the sunlight; we who live, we who die are grateful for his gift, thankful for his love.

Refrain Behold, behold the Lamb of God. All who eat, all who drink shall live; and all, all who dwell in God shall come to know his glory.

2. Peaceful now, those whose hearts are blessed with understanding of the wheat, of the wine united with his word and the love we share.

3. Gentle one, Child of God, join with us at this table. Bless our lives; nourish all who hunger for this feast; shelter them with peace.

4. Lord of all, give us light. Deliver us from evil. Make us one; be our shield. Make still the winds that blow; cradle us with love.

Primera Lectura 2 Reyes 4: 42-44

En aquellos días, llegó de Baal-Salisá un hombre que traía para el siervo de Dios, Eliseo, como primicias, veinte panes de cebada y grano tierno en espiga. Entonces Eliseo dijo a su criado: “Dáselos a la gente para que coman”. Pero él le respondió: “¿Cómo voy a repartir estos panes entre cien hombres?” Eliseo insistió: “Dáselos a la gente para que coman, porque esto dice el Señor: ‘Comerán todos y sobrará’ ”. El criado repartió los panes a la gente; todos comieron y todavía sobró, como había dicho el Señor.

Salmo Responsorial Salmo 144, 10-11. 15-16. 17-18

R. Abres tu la mano, Señor, y sacias de favores a todo viviente.

Evangelio Jn 6, 1-15

En aquel tiempo, Jesús se fue a la otra orilla del mar de Galilea o lago de Tiberíades. Lo seguía mucha gente, porque habían visto los signos que hacía curando a los enfermos. Jesús subió al mon-te y se sentó allí con sus discípulos. Estaba cerca la Pascua, festividad de los judíos. Viendo Jesús que mucha gente lo seguía, le dijo a Felipe: “¿Cómo compraremos pan para que coman éstos?” Le hizo esta pregunta para ponerlo a prueba, pues él bien sabía lo que iba a hacer. Felipe le re-spondió: “Ni doscientos denarios de pan bastarían para que a cada uno le tocara un pedazo de pan”. Otro de sus discípulos, Andrés, el hermano de Simón Pedro, le dijo: “Aquí hay un muchacho que trae cinco panes de cebada y dos pescados. Pero, ¿qué es eso para tanta gente?” Jesús le respondió: “Díganle a la gente que se siente”. En aquel lugar había mucha hierba. Todos, pues, se sentaron ahí; y tan sólo los hombres eran unos cinco mil. Enseguida tomó Jesús los panes, y después de dar gracias a Dios, se los fue repartiendo a los que se habían sentado a comer. Igualmente les fue dando de los pescados todo lo que quisieron. Después de que todos se saciaron, dijo a sus discípulos: “Recojan los pedazos sobrantes, para que no se desperdicien”. Los recogi-eron y con los pedazos que sobraron de los cinco panes llenaron doce canastos. Entonces la gente, al ver el signo que Jesús había hecho, decía: “Éste es, en verdad, el profeta que habría de venir al mundo”. Pero Jesús, sabiendo que iban a llevárselo para proclamarlo rey, se retiró de nuevo a la montaña, él solo.

Segunda Lectura Ef 4, 1-6

Hermanos: Yo, Pablo, prisionero por la causa del Señor, los ex-horto a que lleven una vida digna del llamamiento que han reci-bido. Sean siempre humildes y amables; sean comprensivos y sopórtense mutuamente con amor; esfuércense en mantenerse unidos en el Espíritu con el vínculo de la paz. Porque no hay más que un solo cuerpo y un solo Espíritu, como también una sola es la esperanza del llamamiento que ustedes han recibido. Un solo Señor, una sola fe, un solo bautismo, un solo Dios y Padre de todos, que reina sobre todos, actúa a través de todos y vive en todos.

Ofertorio No Podemos Caminar

Estribillo No podemos caminar con hambre bajo el sol. Danos siempre el mismo pan: tu cuerpo y sangre, Señor.

1. Comamos todos de este pan, el pan de la unidad. En un cuerpo nos unió el Señor por medio del amor.

2. Señor, yo tengo sed de Ti, sediento estoy de Dios; pero pronto llegaré a ver el rostro del Señor.

3. Por el desierto el pueblo va cantando su dolor; en la noche brillará tu luz, nos guía la verdad.

Danos, Señor, de Esos Panes

1. Con cinco panes y peces dio de comer el Señor a muchos hombres y niños, muchas mujeres también. Todos comieron aquello, también saciaron su sed.

Estribillo Danos, Señor, de esos panes y esos peces de comer, como lo hiciste amoroso con tus hijos esa vez. 2. Somos nosotros tus hijos que te siguen por doquier: por los caminos del mundo día tras día con fe. A veces nos tropezamos y sentimos desmayar. 3. Aquel milagro del monte se repite sin cesar: Jesús en ese Sagrario se reparte a manos dar. Todos los que tengan hambre ahí la pueden saciar. Letra: Basada en Mateo 14, 15–21.

1. Caminando juntos vamos a salir, y nos despedimos con un breve adiós. Estribillo “Adiós”, quiere decir: “¡Vaya usted con Dios!” Mi corazón se alegra, contigo voy, Señor. 2.
