Tenth Sunday after Pentecost
August 2nd, 2026
July 2nd
In today’s first reading God invites all who are hungry or thirsty to receive food and drink without cost. Jesus feeds the hungry multitude and reveals the abundance of God. At the eucharistic table we remember all who are hungry or poor in our world today. As we share the bread of life, we are sent forth to give ourselves away as bread for the hungry.
Readings of the day:

Isaiah 55:1-5
Eat and drink that which truly satisfies


Psalm 145:8-9, 14-21
You open wide your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. (Ps. 145:16)


Romans 9:1-5
The glory of God’s people Israel


Matthew 14:13-21
Christ feeding five thousand
