19th Sunday of Ordinary Time

4And he went forward, one day's journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord, take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers. 5And he cast himself down, and slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat. 6He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again. 7And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said to him: Arise, eat: for thou hast yet a great way to go. 8And he arose, and ate, and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb.

2I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.

3In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.

4O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.

5I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.

6Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.

7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.

8The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.

9O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.

4:30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God: whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31Let all bitterness, and anger, and indignation, and clamour, and blasphemy, be put away from you, with all malice. 32And be ye kind one to another; merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ.

5:1Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children; 2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.

41The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven. 42And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven? 43Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves. 44No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day. 45It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me. 46Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father. 47Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life. 48I am the bread of life. 49Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead. 50This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die. 51I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
