The
sacrifice of Melchizedek,

High, he blessed Abram ... Then Abram gave him a tenth
of everything he owned.

God appearing to
Moses
in the burning bush,
which foreshadowed Christ
becoming present to us in Mass |
|
|
|
The angel of the LORD
appeared to Moses in flames of fire from within a bush
... God called to him from within the bush, "Moses!
Moses!"
Moses answered, "Here I am."
(Exodus 3:2-4) |
Jesus multiplies the loaves
and fish,
and at Mass, He is the True Bread,
feeding the our souls. |

Taking the five loaves and
two fish, looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and broke
the bread. Then he gave it to his disciples to
distribute to the people.

The transfiguration of Jesus,
which promises the spiritual
transfiguration of all who participate
reverently in the divine liturgy. |

On top of the mountain, He
was transfigured before them. His face shone like the
sun, and His clothes became as white as light.
