Why a list of "Bread of life" hymns
Every three years, the year B lectionary gospel reading switches to St John (instead of Mark) for five weeks. In this time, it covers the whole of chapter six, which is known as the "Bread of Life discourse". The emphasis is different each week, but the general "bread of life" idea is constant. This list aims to provide a wide selection of hymns which parish musicians can use to support this part of Ordinary Time.Free-use hymn suggestions
