The Holy Eucharist; The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

This is the 19^th Sunday in Ordinary time.  The Gospel of Mathew today follows or continues that of  last Sunday wherein Jesus performed the miracle of the multiplication of the five loaves and two fish with which to feed a multitude of people.  Following this occurrence, at nightfall, Jesus left the other disciple to go up into the hills and pray while the others got into a boat.  A storm came up in the night and Jesus saw their predicament and came to them walking on the water.
