LITURGY SCHEDULE
THIS WEEK IN FOCUS: “There is a boy
Mon
here who has five barley loaves and two fish;
but what good are these for so many?”
We do not know the boy’s name or why he had
five loaves and two fish, nor do we know how
he ended up in the crowd following Jesus. He
is one of those scriptural enigmas-a fleeting
reference with a blank face and no opportunity
to speak. Nor is it clear whether he offered his
meager meal to the disciples or whether they
observed him trying to eat it. We might
wonder: “How old was this boy? How big were
the loaves and the fish?”
There are no details to satisfy our curiosity. All
we know for sure is that in Jesus’ presence, an
unnamed child saves the day when his humble
meal becomes a banquet for the multitude.
From this event, we also learn that in Jesus’
company, our own poverty can be transformed
into abundance and that the crumbs of our lives
can be food for the world.
Use our gifts, O Lord, that your work may be
accomplished.
