Since every Sunday of the church year is a "Little Easter," and since John 6 is being read as the Gospel for the Day for five Sundays in a row in most of the churches that have a lectionary, and since this is the third of those five Sundays, and since the eucharist is the dominant theme in the Gospel for the Day - this Sunday virtually demands the celebration of the eucharist on this occasion.
