제1독서
창세기.3,9-24
9 주 하느님께서 사람을 부르시며, “너 어디 있느냐?” 하고 물으셨다.
10 그가 대답하였다.
“동산에서 당신의 소리를 듣고 제가 알몸이기 때문에 두려워 숨었습니다.”
11 그분께서 “네가 알몸이라고 누가 일러 주더냐?
내가 너에게 따 먹지 말라고 명령한 그 나무 열매를 네가 따 먹었느냐?” 하고
물으시자, 12 사람이 대답하였다.
“당신께서 저와 함께 살라고 주신 여자가
그 나무 열매를 저에게 주기에 제가 먹었습니다.”
13 주 하느님께서 여자에게 “너는 어찌하여 이런 일을 저질렀느냐?” 하고 물으시자,
여자가 대답하였다. “뱀이 저를 꾀어서 제가 따 먹었습니다.”
14 주 하느님께서 뱀에게 말씀하셨다. “네가 이런 일을 저질렀으니
너는 모든 집짐승과 들짐승 가운데에서 저주를 받아
네가 사는 동안 줄곧 배로 기어 다니며 먼지를 먹으리라.
15 나는 너와 그 여자 사이에,
네 후손과 그 여자의 후손 사이에 적개심을 일으키리니
여자의 후손은 너의 머리에 상처를 입히고 너는 그의 발꿈치에 상처를 입히리라.”
16 그리고 여자에게는 이렇게 말씀하셨다.
“나는 네가 임신하여 커다란 고통을 겪게 하리라.
너는 괴로움 속에서 자식들을 낳으리라.
너는 네 남편을 갈망하고 그는 너의 주인이 되리라.”
17 그리고 사람에게는 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “네가 아내의 말을 듣고,
내가 너에게 따 먹지 말라고 명령한 나무에서 열매를 따 먹었으니,
땅은 너 때문에 저주를 받으리라.
너는 사는 동안 줄곧 고통 속에서 땅을 부쳐 먹으리라.
18 땅은 네 앞에 가시덤불과 엉겅퀴를 돋게 하고 너는 들의 풀을 먹으리라.
19 너는 흙에서 나왔으니 흙으로 돌아갈 때까지
얼굴에 땀을 흘려야 양식을 먹을 수 있으리라. 너는 먼지이니 먼지로 돌아가리라.”
20 사람은 자기 아내의 이름을 하와라 하였다.
그가 살아 있는 모든 것의 어머니가 되었기 때문이다.
21 주 하느님께서는 사람과 그의 아내에게 가죽옷을 만들어 입혀 주셨다.
22 주 하느님께서 말씀하셨다.
“자, 사람이 선과 악을 알아 우리 가운데 하나처럼 되었으니,
이제 그가 손을 내밀어 생명나무 열매까지 따 먹고
영원히 살게 되어서는 안 되지.”
23 그래서 주 하느님께서는 그를 에덴 동산에서 내치시어,
그가 생겨 나온 흙을 일구게 하셨다.
24 이렇게 사람을 내쫓으신 다음, 에덴 동산 동쪽에 커룹들과 번쩍이는 불 칼을 세워,
생명나무에 이르는 길을 지키게 하셨다.
복음
마르코. 8,1-10
1 그 무렵 많은 군중이 모여 있었는데 먹을 것이 없었다.
예수님께서 제자들을 가까이 불러 말씀하셨다.
2 “저 군중이 가엾구나.
벌써 사흘 동안이나 내 곁에 머물렀는데 먹을 것이 없으니 말이다.
3 내가 저들을 굶겨서 집으로 돌려보내면 길에서 쓰러질 것이다.
더구나 저들 가운데에는 먼 데서 온 사람들도 있다.”
4 그러자 제자들이 “이 광야에서 누가 어디서 빵을 구해
저 사람들을 배불릴 수 있겠습니까?” 하고 대답하였다.
5 예수님께서 “너희에게 빵이 몇 개나 있느냐?” 하고 물으시자,
그들이 “일곱 개 있습니다.” 하고 대답하였다.
6 예수님께서는 군중에게 땅에 앉으라고 분부하셨다.
그리고 빵 일곱 개를 손에 들고 감사를 드리신 다음,
떼어서 제자들에게 주시며 나누어 주라고 하시니,
그들이 군중에게 나누어 주었다.
7 또 제자들이 작은 물고기 몇 마리를 가지고 있었는데,
예수님께서는 그것도 축복하신 다음에 나누어 주라고 이르셨다.
8 사람들은 배불리 먹었다.
그리고 남은 조각을 모았더니 일곱 바구니나 되었다.
9 사람들은 사천 명가량이었다. 예수님께서는 그들을 돌려보내시고 나서,
10 곧바로 제자들과 함께 배에 올라 달마누타 지방으로 가셨다.

Reading 1
The LORD God called to Adam and asked him, “Where are you?”
He answered, “I heard you in the garden;
but I was afraid, because I was naked,
so I hid myself.”
Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked?
You have eaten, then,
from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!”
The man replied, “The woman whom you put here with me
she gave me fruit from the tree, and so I ate it.”
The LORD God then asked the woman,
“Why did you do such a thing?”
The woman answered, “The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.”
Then the LORD God said to the serpent:
“Because you have done this, you shall be banned
from all the animals
and from all the wild creatures;
On your belly shall you crawl,
and dirt shall you eat
all the days of your life.
I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
He will strike at your head,
while you strike at his heel.”
To the woman he said:
“I will intensify the pangs of your childbearing;
in pain shall you bring forth children.
Yet your urge shall be for your husband,
and he shall be your master.”
To the man he said: “Because you listened to your wife
and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,
“Cursed be the ground because of you!
In toil shall you eat its yield
all the days of your life.
Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you,
as you eat of the plants of the field.
By the sweat of your face
shall you get bread to eat,
Until you return to the ground,
from which you were taken;
For you are dirt,
and to dirt you shall return.”
The man called his wife Eve,
because she became the mother of all the living.
For the man and his wife the LORD God made leather garments,
with which he clothed them.
Then the LORD God said: “See! The man has become like one of us,
knowing what is good and what is evil!
Therefore, he must not be allowed to put out his hand
to take fruit from the tree of life also,
and thus eat of it and live forever.”
The LORD God therefore banished him from the garden of Eden,
to till the ground from which he had been taken.
When he expelled the man,
he settled him east of the garden of Eden;
and he stationed the cherubim and the fiery revolving sword,
to guard the way to the tree of life.
Responsorial Psalm
R. (1) In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Before the mountains were begotten
and the earth and the world were brought forth,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
You turn man back to dust,
saying, “Return, O children of men.”
For a thousand years in your sight
are as yesterday, now that it is past,
or as a watch of the night.
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
You make an end of them in their sleep;
the next morning they are like the changing grass,
Which at dawn springs up anew,
but by evening wilts and fades.
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Return, O LORD! How long?
Have pity on your servants!
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Gospel
In those days when there again was a great crowd without anything to eat,
Jesus summoned the disciples and said,
“My heart is moved with pity for the crowd,
because they have been with me now for three days
and have nothing to eat.
If I send them away hungry to their homes,
they will collapse on the way,
and some of them have come a great distance.”
His disciples answered him, “Where can anyone get enough bread
to satisfy them here in this deserted place?”
Still he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”
They replied, “Seven.”
He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.
Then, taking the seven loaves he gave thanks, broke them,
and gave them to his disciples to distribute,
and they distributed them to the crowd.
They also had a few fish.
He said the blessing over them
and ordered them distributed also.
They ate and were satisfied.
They picked up the fragments left over?seven baskets.
There were about four thousand people.
He dismissed the crowd and got into the boat with his disciples
and came to the region of Dalmanutha.

The Creighton University Retreat Center in Griswold, Iowa (not too far from Omaha) is a largely wooded retreat center. I used to have the pleasure of facilitating retreats there for the teachers of Creighton’s Magis Catholic Teacher Corps. There is something about the woods that uniquely evokes an awareness of God’s creation. The trees’ canopy takes invisible sunlight and turns it into visible beams. It takes the invisible wind and turns it into the sights and sounds of rustling leaves and whistling branches. It takes the very reality of creation and surrounds you with it; towers over you with it, drawing your gaze upward. The trees bring about these sensory experiences.
Trees, it seems, have been central to human experience since the very beginning, as we see in the first reading. There were many trees in the Garden of Eden, including the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God meant for the trees in the garden (well, all but one) to sustain humankind with their fruit and beauty and begged the question of Adam and Eve – the same question that we today face – Of what shall we eat?
Daily, we are faced with the decision of what we should eat. Beyond the obvious necessity of physical sustenance, I mean that we must decide what feeds our very soul. What do I ‘take in’ that sustains and drives my innermost self? Where can I find this real food? In a very real way, Jesus addresses this question in today’s gospel from Mark. Jesus is moved with pity because the crowds have nothing to eat. I can’t help but think that beyond the crowd’s obvious physical hunger, Jesus knew how starving they were for true food, the sort of which had been guarded by the cherubim and the fiery revolving sword since the Fall.
This story of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes that is all too common, and yet no less extraordinary because of it, answers the question Of what shall we eat? when we see it with its eucharistic significance (as we’re told in the note on this passage) and in light of salvation history. In so doing, we realize that the story points to the Eucharist and that the tree, itself, again takes center stage. In God’s mercy, he gives humanity another chance to make the right choice; to choose not the tree of the knowledge of good and evil as our forebears did, but to choose the tree of life – the tree on which Jesus was crucified. Whereas everything was lost to Adam and Eve upon eating from the forbidden tree, by eating the fruit of the new tree of life – the body and blood of Jesus crucified – everything is given.
This new tree of life, just like the trees at Creighton’s retreat center, makes the invisible visible and draws our gaze upward. It takes the invisible love of God and shows this love visibly in the body of Christ. The source of our faith at the summit of Calvary. The summit of our faith in the source of all creation. God, himself; our true food; our refuge.

CHANGING OUR ALIENATION
“I hid myself.” —Genesis 3:10
The seeds of the alienation and separation of man are evident in today’s first reading: alienation from God, alienation between man and woman. “The man and his wife hid themselves from the Lord God” (Gn 3:8).
Man tries to find his own remedy for his fall from grace instead of going to the remedy God has offered, His Son Jesus Christ. However, we cannot reconcile ourselves to God through our own efforts; it is the Lord Who initiates the reconciling. Our part is to “let it be done to” us (Lk 1:38). “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near through the blood of Christ. It is He Who is our peace, and Who made the two of us one by breaking down the barrier of hostility that kept us apart” (Eph 2:13-14).
We are “strangers and aliens no longer” (Eph 2:19). God has sent His only begotten Son to reconcile sinful humanity to Himself (Jn 3:16). Will you accept the solution God has offered to remedy the miserable effects of sin in this world? Risen life in Jesus is far superior to even God’s original, beautiful plan for human life in the garden of Eden. Yet many respond, “We will not have this Man rule over us” (Lk 19:14).
When we give our lives to Jesus, we change from being alienated from God to being alienated from the world (Heb 11:13-14). Surrender your life to Jesus. Change your alienation.
Prayer: Father, grant me the grace to be so committed to Your Son Jesus that I may never depart from Him.
Promise: “The people in the crowd ate until they had their fill.” —Mk 8:8
Praise: Glenda had a special devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes. She rejoiced when her confessor assigned her to pray to her patroness.

Can anything on earth truly satisfy the hunger we experience for God? The enormous crowd that pressed upon Jesus for three days were hungry for something more than physical food. They hung upon Jesus' words because they were hungry for God. When the disciples were confronted by Jesus with the task of feeding four thousand people many miles away from any source of food, they exclaimed: Where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them? The Israelites were confronted with the same dilemma when they fled Egypt and found themselves in a barren wilderness.
Like the miraculous provision of manna in the wilderness, Jesus, himself provides bread in abundance for the hungry crowd who came out into the desert to seek him. The Gospel records that all were satisfied and they took up what was leftover. When God gives he gives abundantly - more than we deserve and more than we need so that we may have something to share with others as well. The Lord Jesus nourishes and sustains us with his life-giving word and with his heavenly bread.
Jesus nourishes us with the true bread of heaven
The sign of the multiplication of the loaves, when the Lord says the blessing, breaks and distributes through his disciples, prefigures the superabundance of the unique bread of his Eucharist or Lord's Supper. When we receive from the Lord's table we unite ourselves to Jesus Christ, who makes us sharers in his body and blood. Ignatius of Antioch (35-107 A.D.) calls it the "one bread that provides the medicine of immortality, the antidote for death, and the food that makes us live for ever in Jesus Christ" (Ad Eph. 20,2). This supernatural food is healing for both body and soul and strength for our journey heavenward.
When you approach the Table of the Lord, what do you expect to receive? Healing, pardon, comfort, and refreshment for your soul? The Lord has much more for us, more than we can ask or imagine. The principal fruit of receiving from the Lord's Table is an intimate union with Christ himself. As bodily nourishment restores lost strength, so the Eucharist strengthens us in charity and enables us to break with disordered attachments to creatures and to be more firmly rooted in the love of Christ. Do you hunger for Jesus, the true "bread of life"?
Lord Jesus, you alone can satisfy the hunger in our lives. Fill me with grateful joy and eager longing for the true heavenly bread which gives health, strength, and wholeness to body and soul alike.
Psalm 106:4,6-7, 19-22
4 Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people; help me when you deliver them;
6 Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7 Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wonderful works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled against the Most High at the Red Sea.
19 They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a molten image.
20 They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red Sea.
Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: Breaking the bread of God's Word, by Augustine of Hippo, 354-430 A.D.
"In expounding to you the Holy Scriptures, I as it were break bread for you. If you hunger to receive it, your heart will sing out with the fullness of praise (Psalm 138:1). If you are thus made rich in your banquet, be not meager in good works and deeds. What I am distributing to you is not my own. What you eat, I eat; what you live upon, I live upon. We have in heaven a common store-house - from it comes the Word of God." (excerpt from SERMONS ON NEW TESTAMENT LESSONS 45.1)
