The gate of heavn to us below,

Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
O grant us endless length of days
In our true native land with thee.
Amen. |

Jesus
said to the Jews: truly, truly I say to you, he who believes
has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate
the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the
bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it
and not die. I am the living bread which came down from
heaven; if anyone eats this bread, he will live forever; and
the bread that I shall give for the life of the world is my
flesh.

of Saint Mark is read.
Jesus
saw a great throng, and He had compassion on them for they
were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach
them many things. Then He commanded them ail to sit down in
groups, by hundreds and by fifties. And taking five loaves
and two
fish He looked up to
heaven and blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the
disciples to set before the people; and He divided the two
fish among them all. And they took up twelve baskets full of
broken pieces and of the fish. And those who ate the loaves
were five thousand men.
