All nations shall fall prostrate before you, O Lord.
It was a critical situation - a deserted place, the day was over, and the crowd was too large and hungry. And they had no way of getting food in that deserted place at such late hour of the day. Jesus places a challenge before the disciples: "You give them something yourselves." An impossible call indeed! But the one with the five loaves and two fish thought otherwise and made it possible. That results in the great miracle.
God works His miracle when when we show goodwill to be generous and sharing. And that's the key to diffusing any hopeless situation. The Lord challenges us today: "You give them something yourselves." How willing and generous am I to help the needy and minimize hunger of any kind in the world? "The road to Jericho today, the road to the Good Samaritan runs through every under-developed country." - Michael Quoist
