Advent Reflection Day 4

In today’s Gospel Jesus orders  the crowd to sit down.  He then takes seven loaves of bread and a few fish, gives thanks, breaks the bread, and has the disciples distribute the food to the people. Then Matthew tells us, “They all ate and were satisfied. “  Some, perhaps cynically, have suggested that the real miracle was that Jesus got people to share.  Maybe our Advent call today is to do both:  to see Jesus in the breaking of the bread and in all of the other miracles that surround us AND to share with those in need.  
​
Take time today to go to mass, to ponder and give thanks for the miracle of life and to share what you have with those who have less.
