First Reading Ex 16:2-4, 12-15
The whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The Israelites said to them, “Would that we had died at the
LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt, as we sat by our fleshpots and ate our fill of bread! But you had to lead us into this desert to make
the whole community die of famine!”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “I will now rain down bread from heaven for you. Each day the people are to go out and gather their
daily portion; thus will I test them, to see whether they follow my instructions or not. “I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell
them: In the evening twilight you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread, so that you may know that I, the
LORD, am your God.”
In the evening quail came up and covered the camp. In the morning a dew lay all about the camp, and when the dew evaporated,
there on the surface of the desert were fine flakes like hoarfrost on the ground. On seeing it, the Israelites asked one another, “What is
this?” for they did not know what it was. But Moses told them, “This is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.”
Responsorial Psalm Ps 78 R. The Lord gave them bread from heaven.
Second Reading Eph 4:17, 20-24
Brothers and sisters: I declare and testify in the Lord that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds;
that is not how you learned Christ, assuming that you have heard of him and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus, that you should put
away the old self of your former way of life, corrupted through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on
the new self, created in God’s way in righteousness and holiness of truth
Gospel Jn 6:24-35
When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking
for Jesus. And when they found him across the sea they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” Jesus answered them and said,
“Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not
work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father,
God, has set his seal.”
So they said to him, “What can we do to accomplish the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God,
that you believe in the one he sent.” So they said to him, “What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?
Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”
So Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true
bread from heaven. for the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” So they said to him, “Sir,
give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in
me will never thirst.”
Primera lectura Ex 16, 2-4. 12-15
En aquellos días, toda la comunidad de los hijos de Israel murmuró contra Moisés y Aarón en el desierto, diciendo: “Ojalá
hubiéramos muerto a manos del Señor en Egipto, cuando nos sentábamos junto a las ollas de carne y comíamos pan hasta saciarnos.
Ustedes nos han traído a este desierto para matar de hambre a toda esta multitud”.
Entonces dijo el Señor a Moisés: “Voy a hacer que llueva pan del cielo. Que el pueblo salga a recoger cada día lo que necesita, pues
quiero probar si guarda mi ley o no. He oído las murmuraciones de los hijos de Israel. Diles de parte mía: ‘Por la tarde comerán carne y
por la mañana se hartarán de pan, para que sepan que yo soy el Señor, su Dios’ ”.
Aquella misma tarde, una bandada de codornices cubrió el campamento. A la mañana siguiente había en torno a él una capa de rocío
que, al evaporarse, dejó el suelo cubierto con una especie de polvo blanco semejante a la escarcha. Al ver eso, los israelitas se dijeron
unos a otros: “¿Qué es esto?”, pues no sabían lo que era. Moisés les dijo: “Éste es el pan que el Señor les da por alimento”.
Salmo Responsorial Salmo 77 R. El Señor les dio pan del cielo.
Segunda lectura Ef 4, 17. 20-24
Hermanos: Declaro y doy testimonio en el Señor, de que no deben ustedes vivir como los paganos, que proceden conforme a lo vano
de sus criterios. Esto no es lo que ustedes han aprendido de Cristo; han oído hablar de él y en él han sido adoctrinados, conforme a la
verdad de Jesús. Él les ha enseñado a abandonar su antiguo modo de vivir, ese viejo yo, corrompido por deseos de placer. Dejen que el
Espíritu renueve su mente y revístanse del nuevo yo, creado a imagen de Dios, en la justicia y en la santidad de la verdad.
Evangelio Jn 6, 24-35
En aquel tiempo, cuando la gente vio que en aquella parte del lago no estaban Jesús ni sus discípulos, se embarcaron y fueron a
Cafarnaúm para buscar a Jesús. Al encontrarlo en la otra orilla del lago, le preguntaron: “Maestro, ¿cuándo llegaste acá?” Jesús les
contestó: “Yo les aseguro que ustedes no me andan buscando por haber visto señales milagrosas, sino por haber comido de aquellos
panes hasta saciarse. No trabajen por ese alimento que se acaba, sino por el alimento que dura para la vida eterna y que les dará el Hijo
del hombre; porque a éste, el Padre Dios lo ha marcado con su sello”.
Ellos le dijeron: “¿Qué necesitamos para llevar a cabo las obras de Dios?” Respondió Jesús: “La obra de Dios consiste en que crean
en aquel a quien él ha enviado”. Entonces la gente le preguntó a Jesús: “¿Qué signo vas a realizar tú, para que la veamos y podamos
creerte? ¿Cuáles son tus obras? Nuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto, como está escrito: Les dio a comer pan del cielo”.
Jesús les respondió: “Yo les aseguro: No fue Moisés quien les dio pan del cielo; es mi Padre quien les da el verdadero pan del cielo.
Porque el pan de Dios es aquel que baja del cielo y da la vida al mundo”. Entonces le dijeron: “Señor, danos siempre de ese pan”. Jesús
les contestó: “Yo soy el pan de la vida. El que viene a mí no tendrá hambre y el que cree en mí nunca tendrá sed”.

Elder Abuse— Elder abuse can happen to anyone and
it can take many different forms. Most cases of abuse
reported to Adult Protective Services involve “selfneglect.” Many of these people are vulnerable to abuse
because they live alone or are dependent on someone
else for their care. Texas requires by law the reporting
of elder abuse or the suspicion of elder abuse. If you
know of someone who cannot care for himself/herself,
or who is being abused, neglected or exploited,
whether they live alone or with a spouse or caregiver,
Texas law requires that you report the abuse. The
number is 1-800-252-5400; your report will remain
confidential. For additional information, please
contact the Office of Aging at 713-741-8712.

TALLERES DE ORACION Y VIDA
“Una Nueva Evangelización,” es una escuela de oración donde
se aprende a entrar en una relación íntimamente y personal con
el Señor Jesús, desde los primeros pasos hasta las alturas de la
contemplación. También es una escuela de vida; donde el
asistente va superando, paso a paso el mundo interior de
angustias y ansiedades, miedos y tristezas, inundándose de una
paz jamás imaginada, y como efecto de una vivencia profunda
de la FE y el abandono; el tallerista va haciéndose cada vez mas
paciente, humilde, sensible y misericordioso con el programa:
¿Que haría Jesús en mi lugar?
El taller consta de quince sesiones, una sesión por semana. Cada
una con duración de dos horas, es un servicio gratuito, abierto
para todos desde los 18 años en adelante.
Flowers this weekend have been
donated in memory of
