Readings of the day
First Reading: Acts 8:26-40
Psalm: 65 (66):8-9,16-17,20
Gospel: John 6:44-51
In those days, Jesus said to the crowd: “No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day.

Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.
Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven… Read more »

Din il-fażi hi meqjusa bħala l-aktar sensittiva u prekarja minħabba li r-riskju ta’ relapse jkun akbar, speċjalment għal dawk li ma jkollhomx sapport familjari u akkomodazzjoni fissa… Read more »

In those days, Jesus said to the crowd, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
