St. Mathew 14:13-21 

         

          Today, our holy church gives us a beautiful passage of the holy gospel from St. Mathew chapter 14 verses 13 onwards. Here, Jesus is teaching a crowd of more than 5 thousand of people. After the teaching Jesus said to his disciples, “give food to them” But there were only 5 loaves and 2 fishes. Being so, Jesus, the bread of life, took the bread and fish and giving thanks to heavenly father, distributed to all people until they had their fill.

          This miracle of Jesus pointed to the remarkable generosity of god and his great kindness towards us. When god gives, he gives abundantly. He gives more than what we need for ourselves. In the gospel of St. Mathew chapter 6 verses 8, we see like this, “your father knows what you need before you ask him.” So, let us thank the lord for his abundant graces which he showered through our life. Also we have to share with others what god gives us, especially to those who lack what they need. So, let us develop the quality of sharing. And meditate on this point.
