Liturgy of the Word
First Reading — Joshua 24: 1-2a, 15-17, 18b
Joshua gathered together all the tribes of Israel at Shechem,
summoning their elders, their leaders, their judges, and their
officers. When they stood in ranks before God, Joshua addressed
all the people: “If it does not please you to serve the
LORD, decide today whom you will serve, the gods your
fathers served beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites
in whose country you are now dwelling. As for me and my
household, we will serve the LORD.”

Time of silent reflection on God’s Word.
But the people answered, “Far be it from us to forsake the
LORD for the service of other gods. For it was the LORD,
our God, who brought us and our fathers up out of the land
of Egypt, out of a state of slavery. He performed those great
miracles before our very eyes and protected us along our entire
journey and among the peoples through whom we passed.
Therefore we also will serve the LORD, for he is our God.”
The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Second Reading — Ephesians 5: 2a, 25-32
Brothers and sisters: Live in love, as Christ loved us. Husbands,
love your wives, even as Christ loved the church and handed
himself over for her to sanctify her, cleansing her by the bath
of water with the word, that he might present to himself the
church in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing,
that she might be holy and without blemish. So also husbands
should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his

wife loves himself. For no one hates his own flesh but rather
nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ does the church,
because we are members of his body. For this reason a man
shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh. This is a great mystery,
but I speak in reference to Christ and the church.
The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Introduction to the Gospel
Deacon/Priest: The Lord be with you. People: And with your Spirit
Deacon/Priest: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John People: Glory to you, O Lord
Gospel — John 6: 60-69
Many of Jesus’ disciples who were listening said, “This
saying is hard; who can accept it?” Since Jesus knew that
his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them,
“Does this shock you? What if you were to see the Son of
Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that
gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have
spoken to you are Spirit and life. But there are some of you
who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones
who would not believe and the one who would betray him.

Homily
Profession of Faith (Apostles’ Creed)
And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can
come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”
As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their
former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus
then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?”
Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go?
You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe
and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord,
—At the words that follow, up to and
including “Virgin Mary”, all bow.—
who was conceived by
the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again
from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge
the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.
