Luke 9:11b–17
When the crowds found out about it, they followed him; and
he welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those
who needed to be cured. The day was drawing to a close, and the twelve came to
him and said, “Send the crowd away, so that they may go into the surrounding
villages and countryside, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a
deserted place.” But he said to them,
“You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves
and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.” For there
were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Make them sit down
in groups of about fifty each.” They did so and made them all sit down. And
taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed
and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. And all
ate and were filled. What was left over was gathered up, twelve baskets of
broken pieces.
Reflection
How do I share with others?
How do I feel when I see others in difficult situations?
