Mark's account of Jesus feeding the 4,000 (Mk 8: 1-10) reminds us of how he continues to feed us daily through his Word, the actions of others and, if we choose, the Eucharist. He knows of our need, our hunger and thirst, not only on the material plane but on the spiritual as well. He provided so abundantly for these people who were so enthralled at his teaching and by his miracles that they had stayed with him for three days and at the end had nothing left to eat. What power Jesus had that people would go without food just to be with him! So attentive and loving was he that he "over-compensated" multiplying seven loaves and a few fish so that there wer seven baskets of left-overs. This miracle should assure us that he takes care of our needs simirlalry, and iti should motivate us to share as lavishly to those in need around us. There's a challenge, yet daily in goes on in soup kitchens around the world. How can I help?
