NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: I Kings 19:4-8
Queen Jezebel had vowed to kill Elijah, who went into the
desert and prayed for death. Instead he went to sleep
and was awakened by an angel, who told him to eat the
food God had given him. He ate and went back to sleep,
but God’s angel again woke him and told him to eat.
Strengthened by the food, he got up and walked forty
days and nights to the mountain of God.
Second Reading: Ephesians 4:305:2
Paul appeals to the Ephesians to get rid of bitterness,
anger, and malice. Instead they must be kind,
compassionate, and forgiving just as God has been. We
must be imitators of Christ, and love one another as he
has loved us.
Gospel: John 6:41-51
The Jews were not convinced that Jesus was the bread
that came down from heaven. But he again explains that
he is the bread of life. He tells them that anyone who
believes and eats this bread shall live forever. He
explains that the bread he will give is his flesh, for the life
of the world.

NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
“Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were sealed for the day of
redemption. All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting and reviling must be removed from you,
along with all malice. And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another
as God has forgiven you in Christ.”
When Paul wrote to the Ephesians, he included a shopping list for what we need and what we
should eliminate from our lives. The KFC we can easily remember. They are virtues which we
seek and surely manifest in many ways. The negatives we might overlook, and perhaps do not
see them as barriers or obstacles when we consider receiving the Eucharist.
Paul is not referring to simple annoyances, as heat or storms, but as real vices directed at other
people. Let’s offer a remedy: First pray for the person or persons against whom we direct rage,
fury and anger. Second, when we find it hard to ‘forgive and forget’ then remember, but without
bitterness. The vices make us less human, less loving and selfish, less lovable.
The Lord speaks to us as He did Elijah ‘Get up and eat, else the journey will be too long for
you.’
The gift of the Eucharist offers us even greater spiritual strength to live the way Paul taught the
Ephesians.
