Welcome to St. Mark - St. James Parish
18th SUNDAY in ORDINAY TIME
In today’s Gospel, The disciples ask Jesus to dismiss the crowds so they can buy food.
Jesus tells them simply to “give them food yourselves.”
But the disciples cannot satisfy the crowds' hunger until
they give Jesus all they have—a meager five loaves and two fish.
Jesus blesses these gifts and returns them to the disciples
who then have enough to feed the crowds, even with “fragments left over.”
It is not the meager resources we have that count,
but what Jesus can do with these resources when we give all we have to him.
