Song: Let's sing to the love of loves
Father Rola: Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Opening Prayer:
Thank you, Lord, because at the last supper you broke your bread and wine into infinite pieces, to
satisfy our hunger and our thirst.
Thank you Lord, because in the bread and the wine you give us your life and fill us with your
presence.
Thank you, Lord, because you loved us to the end, to the extreme that one can love:
to die for another, to give one's life for another.
Thank you Lord, for wanting to celebrate your sacrifice, around a table with your
friends, so that they would be a community of love.
Thank you Lord, because in the Eucharist you make us ONE with you, you unite us to your life, in
the measure to which we are willing to give ours.
Thank you, Lord, because the whole day can be a preparation to celebrate and
share the Eucharist.
Thank you, Lord, because every day I can start over and continue my path.
of brotherhood with my brothers, and my path of transformation in you. Amen

READER
For all the offenses we cause you.
For the times we have been arrogant and self-sufficient.
For the times we have been selfish and have not served our brothers.
For our indifference to the pain and suffering of the poorest.
For all the times we have distanced ourselves from you through lies, hatred, and resentment.
For our routine in participating in the Eucharist.
For not coming to visit you in the tabernacle.
For our indifference towards your sacramental presence.
For our indifference in listening to Your Word.
For our delays in answering your calls.
For our lukewarmness in living the demands of the Gospel.
For our daily cowardices.
For our human weaknesses.
Due to our lack of exemplary Christian life.
For our faults of faith, hope, and charity.
Let us pray: Lord, through the Paschal mystery you have redeemed and saved humanity;
grant us that, repentant of our sins, we may worship and venerate you in
the Sacrament of the altar. You who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.

Father Rola:
FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SAINT LUKE (Lk 9, 11-17)
At that time, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about the kingdom of God and healed the
that they needed it. The evening was falling, and the Twelve approached him to say: —'Send away the
people; to go to the towns and villages in the surrounding areas to find accommodation and
food, because we are in an uninhabited place here." He replied to them:—"Give them
you to eat." They replied: "We have only five loaves and two
fish; unless we are going to buy food for all these people." Because they were
about five thousand men. Jesus said to his disciples:—"Have them sit down in groups
of around fifty." They did so, and everyone sat down. He, taking the five
loaves and the two fish, lifted his gaze to heaven, pronounced the blessing over them, the
he broke it and gave it to the disciples to serve to the people. Everyone ate.
until they were satisfied, and with what was left, they filled twelve baskets.

The Lord not only has the love to give Himself but also the delicacy of making us participate in the
sweet task of sharing it. And by sharing it we become Community. Because the Bread creates
links, makes us stay, to work together to prepare it and then
let's have a gathering to give thanks for it.
The communion that the Lord fosters with the Eucharist is so special that he wanted to leave in
Your Church to people who dedicate their whole life to the service of the Bread. The
priests, they ensure that the Bread of Life is always within reach of the People of
God. We pray today especially for them.
We thank you for making Jesus present in the midst of our daily lives,
in every forgiveness, in every anointing, in every Eucharist.
