Seasonal note

St Mark’s Gospel is the main one used in Year B.  But in Year B, between late July and the end of August, the Gospel is mostly from John 6, presenting Jesus as the Bread of Life.   If you are planning music for Sunday Masses, it may be helpful to view these weeks as one season, spreading your known "Bread-of-life" themed hymns through the period.
