제1독서

 창세기.14,18-20
 
그 무렵 18 살렘 임금 멜키체덱이 빵과 포도주를 가지고 나왔다.

그는 지극히 높으신 하느님의 사제였다.
19 그는 아브람에게 축복하며 이렇게 말하였다.
“하늘과 땅을 지으신 분, 지극히 높으신 하느님께 아브람은 복을 받으리라.
20 적들을 그대 손에 넘겨주신 분, 지극히 높으신 하느님께서는 찬미받으소서.”
아브람은 그 모든 것의 십분의 일을 그에게 주었다.

 

 제2독서

린토 1서 .11,23-26

형제 여러분, 23 나는 주님에게서 받은 것을 여러분에게도 전해 주었습니다.
곧 주 예수님께서는 잡히시던 날 밤에 빵을 들고 24 감사를 드리신 다음,
그것을 떼어 주시며 말씀하셨습니다.
“이는 너희를 위한 내 몸이다. 너희는 나를 기억하여 이를 행하여라.”
25 또 만찬을 드신 뒤에 같은 모양으로 잔을 들어 말씀하셨습니다.
“이 잔은 내 피로 맺는 새 계약이다.
너희는 이 잔을 마실 때마다 나를 기억하여 이를 행하여라.”
26 사실 주님께서 오실 때까지,
여러분은 이 빵을 먹고 이 잔을 마실 적마다 주님의 죽음을 전하는 것입니다.

 

복음

루카 .9,11ㄴ-17
그때에 예수님께서 군중에게 11 하느님 나라에 관하여 말씀해 주시고
필요한 이들에게는 병을 고쳐 주셨다.
12 날이 저물기 시작하자 열두 제자가 예수님께 다가와 말하였다.
“군중을 돌려보내시어,
주변 마을이나 촌락으로 가서 잠자리와 음식을 구하게 하십시오.
우리가 있는 이곳은 황량한 곳입니다.”
13 예수님께서 “너희가 그들에게 먹을 것을 주어라.” 하시니,
제자들은 “저희가 가서 이 모든 백성을 위하여 양식을 사 오지 않는 한,
저희에게는 빵 다섯 개와 물고기 두 마리밖에 없습니다.” 하고 말하였다.
14 사실 장정만도 오천 명가량이나 되었다.
예수님께서는 제자들에게 이르셨다.
“대충 쉰 명씩 떼를 지어 자리를 잡게 하여라.”
15 제자들이 그렇게 하여 모두 자리를 잡았다.
16 예수님께서는 빵 다섯 개와 물고기 두 마리를 손에 들고
하늘을 우러러 그것들을 축복하신 다음 떼어 제자들에게 주시며,
군중에게 나누어 주도록 하셨다.
17 사람들은 모두 배불리 먹었다.
그리고 남은 조각을 모으니 열두 광주리나 되었다.

Reading 1

Gn 14:18-20

In those days, Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine,

and being a priest of God Most High,

he blessed Abram with these words:

"Blessed be Abram by God Most High,

the creator of heaven and earth;

and blessed be God Most High,

who delivered your foes into your hand."

Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

 

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 110:1, 2, 3, 4

R. (4b) You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

The LORD said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand

 till I make your enemies your footstool."

R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

The scepter of your power the LORD will stretch forth from Zion:

"Rule in the midst of your enemies."

R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

"Yours is princely power in the day of your birth, in holy splendor;

before the daystar, like the dew, I have begotten you."

R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

The LORD has sworn, and he will not repent:

"You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek."

R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

 

Reading 2

Brothers and sisters:

I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you,

that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over,

took bread, and, after he had given thanks,

broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you.

Do this in remembrance of me."

In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying,

"This cup is the new covenant in my blood.

Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup,

you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.

 

Gospel

Lk 9:11b-17

Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God,

and he healed those who needed to be cured.

As the day was drawing to a close,

the Twelve approached him and said,

"Dismiss the crowd

so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms

and find lodging and provisions;

for we are in a deserted place here."

He said to them, "Give them some food yourselves."

They replied, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have,

unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people."

Now the men there numbered about five thousand.

Then he said to his disciples,

"Have them sit down in groups of about fifty."

They did so and made them all sit down.

Then taking the five loaves and the two fish,

and looking up to heaven,

he said the blessing over them, broke them,

and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

They all ate and were satisfied.

And when the leftover fragments were picked up,

they filled twelve wicker baskets.

 Rituals are a common everyday occurrence in our lives. There are academic rituals, such as commencements and convocations. Common civil rituals include inaugurations or speeches like the State of the Union Address. Family rituals are numerous, from birthday parties and Sunday dinners to tending the graves of loved ones on Memorial Day. Religious rituals are just as numerous and oh-so-important.

Rabbi Vanessa Ochs has written about the importance of rituals. She says rituals “offer ways for emotion to be contained and channeled … bring structure to complicated and dramatic social changes … offer a sense of belonging … affirm the identity of the individual within the community … connect us to groups … suggest a deeper world of meaning beyond the mundane habits of the everyday … transcend time, connecting us to our ancestors and to those who will come after us … address our need for belonging and emotional reassurance … help us to live out our values.”

Perhaps that last one – helping us to live out our values – is what Jesus had in mind in Paul’s memory of the Last Supper, when he wrote that Jesus took bread and after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

Paul goes on to share that in the same way, Jesus took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” Paul explained that for as often as we eat the bread and drink the cup, we proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.

The Words of Consecration are the cornerstone around which every Mass is built. This was Jesus’ commandment to the twelve assembled with him, and each time they echoed his words, they not only reaffirmed their belief that Jesus died and rose again for our sins, but they shared with all gathered around them, their commitment to their faith, their beliefs and their values.

When we participate in this ritual of the Church and celebrate the Eucharist of the Lord, do we, as Ochs has suggested, find ways for emotion to be contained and channeled … bring structure to the complicated dramatic social changes … affirm our identity within the community … connect to groups … sense a deeper world of meaning beyond the mundane habits of the everyday … connect to our ancestors and to those who will come after us … address our need for belonging and emotional reassurance?”

For most of us, the answer would be yes. But Jesus wanted the Celebration of the Eucharist to be more than a ritual. He wanted it to have lasting impact, to continually motivate us to lead more Christ-like lives in service to others; to inspire us to be more forgiving of the weaknesses and faults of others, and of our own faults and weaknesses.

Through the Celebration of the Eucharist, Jesus wanted us to love and share our faith and beliefs with those around us, so they, too, could come to know the peace and understanding that fills our hearts and minds, and to live our values.

 Who is Jesus for you - and what difference does he make in your life? Many in Israel recognized Jesus as a mighty man of God, even comparing him with the greatest of the prophets. Peter, always quick to respond whenever Jesus spoke, professed that Jesus was truly the "Christ of God" - "the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16). No mortal being could have revealed this to Peter, but only God. Through the "eyes of faith" Peter discovered who Jesus truly was. Peter recognized that Jesus was much more than a great teacher, prophet, and miracle worker. Peter was the first apostle to publicly declare that Jesus was the Anointed One, consecrated by the Father and sent into the world to redeem a fallen human race enslaved to sin and cut off from eternal life with God (Luke 9:20, Acts 2:14-36). The word for "Christ" in Greek is a translation of the Hebrew word for "Messiah" - both words literally mean the Anointed One.


Jesus begins to explain the mission he was sent to accomplish
Why did Jesus command his disciples to be silent about his identity as the anointed Son of God? They were, after all, appointed to proclaim the good news to everyone. Jesus knew that they did not yet fully understand his mission and how he would accomplish it. Cyril of Alexandria (376-444 AD), an early church father, explains the reason for this silence:

There were things yet unfulfilled which must also be included in their preaching about him. They must also proclaim the cross, the passion, and the death in the flesh. They must preach the resurrection of the dead, that great and truly glorious sign by which testimony is borne him that the Emmanuel is truly God and by nature the Son of God the Father. He utterly abolished death and wiped out destruction. He robbed hell, and overthrew the tyranny of the enemy. He took away the sin of the world, opened the gates above to the dwellers upon earth, and united earth to heaven. These things proved him to be, as I said, in truth God. He commanded them, therefore, to guard the mystery by a seasonable silence until the whole plan of the dispensation should arrive at a suitable conclusion. (Commentary on Luke, Homily 49)


God's Anointed Son must suffer and die to atone for our sins
Jesus told his disciples that it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and die in order that God's work of redemption might be accomplished. How startled the disciples were when they heard this word. How different are God's thoughts and ways from our thoughts and ways (Isaiah 55:8). It was through humiliation, suffering, and death on the cross that Jesus broke the powers of sin and death and won for us eternal life and freedom from the slavery of sin and from the oppression of our enemy, Satan, the father of lies and the deceiver of humankind.

We, too, have a share in the mission and victory of Jesus Christ
If we want to share in the victory of the Lord Jesus, then we must also take up our cross and follow where he leads us. What is the "cross" that you and I must take up each day? When my will crosses (does not align) with God's will, then his will must be done. To know Jesus Christ is to know the power of his victory on the cross where he defeated sin and conquered death through his resurrection. The Holy Spirit gives each of us the gifts and strength we need to live as sons and daughters of God. The Holy Spirit gives us faith to know the Lord Jesus personally as our Redeemer, and the power to live the gospel faithfully, and the courage to witness to others the joy, truth, and freedom of the Gospel. Who do you say that Jesus is?

Lord Jesus, I believe and I profess that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Take my life, my will, and all that I have, that I may be wholly yours now and forever.

Psalm 63:1-5,7-8

1 O God, thou are my God, I seek thee, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where no water is.
2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.
3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your name.
5 My soul is feasted as with marrow and fat, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips,
7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: Peter confesses that Jesus is God's Anointed Son and Savior of all, by Cyril of Alexandria (376-444 AD)

"You see the skillfulness of the question. He [Jesus] did not at once say, 'Who do you say that I am?' He refers to the rumor of those that were outside their company. Then, having rejected it and shown it unsound, he might bring them back to the true opinion. It happened that way. When the disciples had said, 'Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, that some prophet of those in old time has risen up,' he said to them, 'But you, who do you say that I am?' Oh! how full of meaning is that word you! He separates them from all others, that they may also avoid the opinions of others. In this way, they will not conceive an unworthy idea about him or entertain confused and wavering thoughts. Then they will not also imagine that John had risen again, or one of the prophets. 'You,' he says, 'who have been chosen,' who by my decree have been called to the apostleship, who are the witnesses of my miracles. Who do you say that I am?'"(excerpt from COMMENTARY ON LUKE, HOMILY 49)
