On this mountain he will remove
the mourning veil covering all peoples,
and the shroud enwrapping all nations,
he will destroy Death for ever. Isaiah 25:7-8
- How many of us can see Jesus in the Eucharist through the eyes of our hearts?
- How many attend the Eucharistic celebration not uttering a word of praise or thanksgiving, ‘dumb’ ?
- How many drag their way to the celebration, mentally preoccupied , ‘crippled’?
Still He loves us and wants to feed us with His bread of Life, His very self!
Lord Jesus tear down the veil of sin and death in our lives, so that we may see what You want us to see, and live how You want us to live; in righteousness, liberated and in Our Father’s love. AMEN!
Today’s Gospel
Matthew 15:29-37
Jesus reached the shores of the Sea of Galilee, and he went up into the hills. He sat there, and large crowds came to him bringing the lame, the crippled, the blind, the dumb and many others; these they put down at his feet, and he cured them. The crowds were astonished to see the dumb speaking, the cripples whole again, the lame walking and the blind with their sight, and they praised the God of Israel.
But Jesus called his disciples to him and said, ‘I feel sorry for all these people; they have been with me for three days now and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them off hungry, they might collapse on the way.’ The disciples said to him, ‘Where could we get enough bread in this deserted place to feed such a crowd?’ Jesus said to them, ‘How many loaves have you?’ ‘Seven’ they said ‘and a few small fish.’ Then he instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves and the fish, and he gave thanks and broke them and handed them to the disciples who gave them to the crowds. They all ate as much as they wanted, and they collected what was left of the scraps, seven baskets full.
