PAGE TWO SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 26, 2015
In the Gospel last Sunday, according to Mark, Jesus saw the crowd pursuing him even to a deserted place and he found them like sheep
without a shepherd. Jesus took pity on them and nourished them spiritually with the Word of God, forgave their sins, and healed their infirmities. Af-ter this episode, Mark narrates the miracle of the multiplication of loaves and feeding the hungry crowd by Jesus. This incident reminds us that Je-sus is also concerned about our physical needs. The Gospel account of the multiplication of the loaves also indicates that personal involvement is needed in carrying out miracles of love, healing, and forgiveness of Gods people. Andrew knew the pitiable condition of the people and he did not hes-itate to involve himself. He came to Jesus with a possibility, There is a boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. Andrew knew it was nothing for the large crowd but at the same time he was not hesitant in exploring the possibilities. Andrew was creatively involved and did everything possi-ble unlike Philip. One might wonder if Jesus was only waiting for Andrews suggestion of the boys generous offer-ing to feed the hungry crowd. It is not true. The Gospel says that Jesus asked this to test his disci-
ples because he himself knew what he was going to do. It also reminds us what prophet Isaiah said in Chapter 25 that God had already prepared a ban-quet for his peoplea rich banquet. The multipli-cation of bread and the feeding of the hungry crowd therefore fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah. At the same time, the Gospel reminds us that our involvement and cooperation is very necessary for God to work miracle. The account of the multipli-cation of the loaves carries a powerful message for us today. In this world affected with deep human hunger and poverty, we are reminded that there is bread for all, if only we are willing to share and have the courage and creativity like Andrew, to hope for what we perceive in the unlikely. We need to do our part like the little boy and An-drew for God to do His part. The question for us is, are we willing to do our part? Are we willing to step outside our comfort zone to work toward ful-filling the needs of the greater community? It is true, our sharing may not eradicate poverty or hunger in the world, in our community, or neigh-borhood but it can surely make difference in some ones life. As Blessed Mother Theresa often used to say, It is the drop that makes the ocean. You could be that drop in bringing change and differ-ence in someones life.

continued from page two. This miracle, presented to us also stimulates our minds, in order to make us marvel at the God, who is invisible in his works that are visible to us. To-day in many ways we can experience the visible and wondrous presence of God in our lives espe-cially in the Holy Eucharist that nourishes us both physically and spiritually.

DAILY PRAYER FOR PRIESTS
O Jesus,
I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; For your unfaithful and tepid priests; For your priests laboring at home or
Abroad in distant mission fields. For your tempted priests;
For your lonely and desolate priests; For your young priests; For your dying priests;
For the souls of your priests in Purgatory. But above all, I recommend to you
The priests dearest to me; The priest who baptized me;
The priests who absolved me from my sins; The priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me
Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; The priests who taught and instructed me;
All the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way
(especially...) O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
And bless them abundantly in time and in Eternity,
Amen
