EIGHTEE�TH SU�DAY I� ORDI�ARY TIME AUGUST 3, 2014

Dear Parishioners,

This weekend’s Gospel story tells us a lot about what it means to be Church. The

Apostles come to Jesus telling him that there’s a huge crowd following who have

nothing to eat, suggesting that he send them away to get food. They are concerned

about the needs of the people but they aren’t too anxious to do anything about the

need themselves. Jesus knows full well that he is able to miraculously solve the

problem and is very willing to do so but first he demands that the disciples offer

what they can. What they have is very little but it is nevertheless what God has

blessed them with. When they put what they have at the service of the Lord he

miraculously transforms their small portion into a feast for thousands.

Jesus has left us all behind to be his Church, to continue his presence and work in

the world. We are not just to ask him to do miracles although he can but rather to

offer what we have to be of service to others and let him multiply it for the good of

others. We are not passive observers but actors who do our part in his kingdom.

But they said to him, "Five loaves and two fish

are all we have here." Then he said, "Bring

them to me," and he ordered the crowds to sit

down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and

the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said

the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them

to the disciples, who in turn

gave them to the crowds.

- Mt 14:17-19
