Feeding the Hungry

Jesus is moved to compassion when he realizes the crowd followed him and needed to eat.  He fed them, thanks to the generosity of the boy with five barely loaves and two fish.(cf Jn  6:1-15)  We are constantly presented with requests for aid to the hungry: FEED THE POOR requests come through the mail; a second collection for disaster victims who need food and housing, a Rwandan university student in his final year who needs $200 a month for meals and housing, but his family can't afford it because of the mother's illness requiring what money they have for her medical fees;  it never ends. Would that Jesus would multiply dollars as he did the loaves and fishes!  But he does...through us...what we give, and we must give, is eventually matched abundantly by the generosity of others.  May we not hesitate to invest in the needs of others so that God can do his part.
