7<\/sup>\u00a0My dear friends, let us love one another, since love is from\u00a0God\u00a0and everyone who loves is a child of\u00a0God\u00a0and knows God.<\/p> 8<\/sup>\u00a0Whoever fails to love does not know God, because\u00a0God\u00a0is love.<\/p> 9<\/sup>\u00a0This is the\u00a0revelation\u00a0of God's love for us, that\u00a0God\u00a0sent his only Son into the world that we might have\u00a0life\u00a0through him.<\/p> 10<\/sup>\u00a0Love consists in this: it is not we who loved God, but\u00a0God\u00a0loved us and sent his Son to expiate our sins.<\/p> 1<\/sup> [Of Solomon] God, endow the king with your own fair judgement, the son of the king with your own saving justice,<\/p> 2<\/sup> that he may rule your people with justice, and your poor with fair judgement.<\/p> 3<\/sup> Mountains and hills, bring peace to the people! With justice<\/p> 4<\/sup>\u00a0he\u00a0will\u00a0judge the poor of the people, he\u00a0will\u00a0save the\u00a0children\u00a0of the needy and crush their oppressors.<\/p> 7<\/sup> In his days uprightness shall flourish, and peace in plenty till the moon is no more.<\/p> 8<\/sup>\u00a0His empire shall stretch from sea to sea, from the river to the limits of the earth.<\/p> 34<\/sup> So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length.<\/p> 35<\/sup> By now it was getting very late, and his disciples came up to him and said, 'This is a lonely place and it is getting very late,<\/p> 36<\/sup> so send them away, and they can go to the farms and villages round about, to buy themselves something to eat.'<\/p> 37<\/sup> He replied, 'Give them something to eat yourselves.' They answered, 'Are we to go and spend two hundred denarii on bread for them to eat?'<\/p> 38<\/sup> He asked, 'How many loaves have you? Go and see.' And when they had found out they said, 'Five, and two fish.'<\/p> 39<\/sup> Then he ordered them to get all the people to sit down in groups on the green grass,<\/p> 40<\/sup> and they sat down on the ground in squares of hundreds and fifties.<\/p> 41<\/sup>\u00a0Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to\u00a0heaven\u00a0and said the blessing; then he broke the loaves and began handing them to his disciples to distribute among the people. He also shared out the two fish among them all.<\/p> 42<\/sup> They all ate as much as they wanted.<\/p> 43<\/sup> They collected twelve basketfuls of scraps of bread and pieces of fish.<\/p> 44<\/sup> Those who had eaten the loaves numbered five thousand men.<\/p>","categories":[{"id":160,"name":"Daily Bible"}],"tags":[{"id":188,"name":"Daily Bible"}]}Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 72:1-2, 3-4, 7-8<\/em><\/h3>
