In today’s gospel lesson, we read about a miraculous feeding of 5000 people. Jesus performed this feeding in a very unique way. When the disciples wanted to send the crowd away to buy food, Jesus told them to feed the people themselves. He then took the five loaves and two fish they had, blessed them, and had the disciples distribute the food to everyone. This story teaches us a few important things. First, we can always count on Jesus to help us in our time of need. Second, we should always be willing to help others, even if it’s something small. Finally, we should never be afraid to show our faith in Jesus. Additional info can be found here.
