Father’s Day Prayer: Heavenly Father, we ask You to bless our earthly fathers for the many times they reflected the love, strength, generosity, wisdom and mercy that You exemplify in Your relationship with us, Your children. We honor our fathers for putting our needs above their own convenience and comfort; for teaching us to show courage and determination in the face of adversity; for challenging us to move beyond self-limiting boundaries; for modeling the qualities that would turn us into responsible, caring sons and daughters. We know that our fathers are human. Give them the grace to acknowl-edge and learn from their mistakes. Give us the grace to extend to them the same forgiveness that you offer us all and help us to live with our family with humility and peace of heart. We ask your blessing on all who have loved us like a father. May the love and selflessness they showed us be returned to them in all their relationships, and help them to know that their influence has changed us for the better. Bless new fathers with compassion and respect for their families. We pray that our fathers who have passed from this life that they be welcomed into Your loving embrace, and that our family will one be day be reunited in your heavenly kingdom. May your abundant blessing be on all fathers today and always. Amen.

TRUST IN JESUS Today’s feast celebrates another central mystery of our faith—the mystery of the Eucharist. Like the mystery of the Trinity, the real presence of the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist can never be fully understood, but can only be believed. Just as the Israelites in the desert were invited to put their trust in God’s word to them, we are invited to trust wholly in the word of Jesus. In today’s Gospel Jesus promises to give us a share in his very own flesh and blood, and a share in eternal life besides. We are called to believe in his word and open our hearts to receive true strength and life from our participation in the Eucharist.

TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading — Never forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery and fed you with manna in the de-sert (Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14b-16a).

Psalm — Praise the Lord, Jerusalem (Psalm 147).

Second Reading — Because the loaf of bread is one, we who partake of it, though many, are one body (1 Cor. 10:16-17).

Gospel — Jesus said to the crowds, “I am the living bread; whoever eats this bread will live forever” (John 6:51-58).
