Today’s gospel reading was John 6:5-14, the multiplication of loaves and fishes. <\/p>\n
While some may consider it vulgar to refer to Jesus and Sam Kinnison inthe same paragraph, I think Sam makes an excellent point. Sam imagines Jesus preaching to the multitudes, and as the day draws to a close, nobody has much of anything to eat. “I didn’t come here to be Jesus the Miracle Caterer, folks!!”<\/p>\n
Our associate priest, Father Selviraj, brings this home to us in his sermon, very clearly. Jesus has planned this trip from the beginning, and knows exactly what he is going to do; he knows that while we are on this planet that our bodies need feeding as well as our minds and souls. He makes the connection between feeding our bodies and feeding our souls. He shows us that our bodies can be gorged and our minds and souls empty, and it should humble us. In fact, a lot of things should humble us, but few do. Jesus IS the miracle caterer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
