GOSPEL REFLECTION

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

In today’s Gospel we find an equation the disciples of Jesus couldn’t solve: Five loaves and two fish divided by 5,000-plus people.

They failed to recognize Jesus in the equation; that whatever they had to offer, Jesus could take it and bless it and satisfy the hunger of the crowd with it.

Good stewards recognize that the Lord can work miracles with the gifts they offer to a hungry and broken world.

How often are we willing to offer our gifts in faith, even during disquieting times, even as insignificant as we think they are, and count on the Lord to do the rest?

How often do we count Christ in the equation?
