A Reading
|
|
|
|
When the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into
those boats and crossed to Capernaum to look for Jesus. When they found him
on the other side, they said to him, ‘Rabbi, when did you come here?’ Jesus
answered: ‘In truth I tell you, you are looking for me not because you have
seen the signs but because you had all the bread you wanted to eat. Do not
work for food that goes bad, but work for food that endures for eternal life,
which the Son of man will give you, for on him the Father, God himself, has set
his seal.’ |

I Will Exalt You, O LORD

I will exalt you, O LORD, because you have lifted me up* and have not let my
enemies triumph over me.
O LORD my God, I cried out to you,* and you restored me to health.
You brought me up, O LORD, from the dead;* you restored my life as I was going
down to the grave.
Sing to the LORD, you servants of his;* give thanks for the remembrance of his
holiness.
For his wrath endures but the twinkling of an eye,* his favor for a lifetime. |
