17th Sunday of Ordinary Time

42And a certain man came from Baalsalisa bringing to the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty leaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat. 43And his servant answered him: How much is this, that I should set it before a hundred men? He said again: Give to the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord: They shall eat, and there shall be left. 44So he set it before them: and they ate, and there was left according to the word of the Lord.

10Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.

11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:

…

15The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.

16Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.

17The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works.

18The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.

1I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called, 2With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity. 3Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4One body and one Spirit; as you are called in one hope of your calling. 5One Lord, one faith, one baptism. 6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.

1After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. 2And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased. 3Jesus therefore went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand. 5When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes, and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6And this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he would do. 7Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little. 8One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him: 9There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes; but what are these among so many? 10Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand. 11And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would. 12And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost. 13They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten. 14Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world. 15Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.
