My Dear People,
The multiplication of loaves and fishes is a testimony of God’s Divine Providence. As in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Jesus consecrates simple gifts and makes them divine. So great the blessing, that there were twelve fragment baskets leftover. All who witnessed this great miracle were amazed at the five thousand who were fed with the few loaves and fishes.
As Catholics, we are blessed to received the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity at every Holy Mass. Jesus multiplies His graces for us through the Holy Bread come down from Heaven. This “miracle” is God’s gift to us through the consecrated hands of the priest. In order to benefit from the graces of this sacrament, we have to be properly disposed. Frequent reception of the Eucharist requires us to frequent the confessional. Don’t waste any Eucharistic grace by coming unprepared to Holy Mass. May God continue to bless us abundantly at each and every Mass.
Entrusting you to the care of Our Lady,
Fr. Mark Bozada
May we remember that the baskets of leftover loaves and fishes, remind us that God can work wondrous deeds when we are willing to share.
