Reflection on John 6:1-15:
The gospel of tomorrow teaches us about God's abundance and provision. Jesus takes what little is available (five loaves and two fish) and multiplies it to feed a vast crowd. This miracle shows us that God can take our small offerings and do great things with them.
It also highlights Jesus' compassion and care for people's physical needs. He doesn't just focus on their spiritual well-being but also addresses their hunger and fatigue.
Furthermore, this passage foreshadows the Eucharist (Communion), where Jesus gives us His own body and blood as spiritual food.
Finally, Jesus' withdrawal to the mountains alone after the crowd tries to make Him king shows His humility and focus on His true mission.
_Prayer_
Dear God, help us to deepen our trust in your goodness and provision. Teach us to pray with persistence, humility, and courage. May our prayers be a source of comfort, strength, and joy for ourselves and those around us. Amen.
