Readings
I - 1 Jn. 4: 7-10
II - Mk. 6: 34-44
DARE TO SHARE
The Gospel passage of the day is about the multiplication of the loaves. The compassionate heart of Jesus and the contribution from the crowd made the miracle of the multiplication a possible one. Jesus blessed the mite, the seven loaves and the fish, and fed the multitude that was hungry, taking back twelve baskets of broken pieces and of fish as remnant. Compassion and contribution is possible only to those who have love for his/her fellow being.
In the compassionate heart of Jesus, as St. John says in the first reading, the loving heart of the father was revealed to the hungry crowd. We are blessed with various gifts and talents not only for the personal well being but also for uplifting our suffering humanity. If we are Christians, it is our prime responsibility to imitate our Master Lord Jesus Christ in loving others in serving our brethren. In short, to be modeled after the heart of Jesus. Dare to share even the mite entrusting that into the loving hands of the Lord and discover a miracle being worked out. In the silence of the mind and heart keep repeating the prayer: “Lord Jesus, fill me with your love”.
