Stewardship Message: In today’s Gospel, the disciples
suggest that Jesus disperse the crowd so that they might
individually seek food and lodging. The miracle of the feeding
of the five thousand is Jesus’ powerful reminder that when we
share our gifts in His name there is always more than enough!

A Reflection on the Gospel from 2016 Living
Liturgy: In this gospel story about multiplication of loaves and
fish to feed the hungry crowd—about food and leftovers—Jesus
does far more than satisfy physical hunger and provide
tomorrow’s lunch for the disciples. He foreshadows the gift of his
very self as the Bread of Life.
Jesus taught the crowds and “healed those who needed to be
cured.” Our need for Jesus and what he gives us, however, goes
beyond teaching and healing. Even more, we need the food Jesus
gives in unfathomable abundance. This food sublimely satisfies
us. Yet even more: it transforms us into being the “leftover
fragments”—the Body of Christ—continuing Jesus’ ministry of
giving self over for others.
Jesus’ gospel command is clear: we are to feed others. We
give to others not from the “deserted place” of our own hearts, but
from the “leftover fragments” of God’s blessing. God’s abundant
nourishment is most startlingly given in the handing over of
Jesus’ life—on the cross, in the bread and wine. As Jesus’
followers we are to be God’s abundant nourishment for others by
our own self-gift of life. God’s abundant giving continues in our
own self-giving lives.
The gospel moves from the practical, tangible level of feeding
hungry people to the mystery of God’s abundance and excess; the
gospel moves from the disciples’ concern about feeding the crowd
to their becoming the “leftover fragments” that nourish God’s
hungry people. This solemnity celebrates God’s graciousness to
us—a gift of superabundance. We are invited to participate in
God’s graciousness by our passing on this abundance. Our lives,
then, must witness to the intersection of Jesus’ Life and our lives,
given for others in a superabundance that just keeps getting better.
