Catholic Social Teaching Corner 18th Sunday of Ordinary Time In today’s Gospel, we hear the story of how Jesus fed the crowds with just five loaves of bread and two fish. “They all ate and were satisfied,” Matthew writes. Jesus does similar things with the small gifts we present to him. When we share our own gifts of time and talent, Jesus takes them, blesses them and multiplies them for the benefit of all. 18th Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario En el Evangelio de hoy, escuchamos la historia de como Jesus alimento a la multitud con solo cinco panes y dos pescados. “Todos comieron hasta quedar satisfechos,” escribe Mateo. Jesus hace cosas similares con las pequenas ofrendas que la presentamos. Cuando compartimos nues-tros propios dones de tiempo y talento, Jesus los toma, los bendice y los multiplica para el beneficio de todos.

Prayer for Spiritual Communion

My Dearest Jesus,

I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacra-

ment. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive

You into my soul. Since I cannot, at this moment, receive

You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my

heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and

unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be sepa-

rated from You. Amen
