After he took the children in his arms, he placed his hands on them and blessed them.
Like a shepherd he tends his flock; he gathers up the lambs with his arm; he carries them close to his heart; he leads the ewes along.
While they were eating, he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it. This is my body.”
He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the field.
