Taking the five
loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven,
he said the
blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples,
who in turn
gave them to the crowds.
They all ate and
were satisfied … Matthew 14: 19,20a
Mosaic: Loaves and
Fishes beneath altar ~ Tabgah, Israel
"In the
Eucharist Catholics experience the solidarity of God, a solidarity that can never be exhausted and should never stop causing
awe. ...
Jesus gives Himself to
us in the Eucharist, shares our journey
and, in fact, makes Himself the food that sustains our lives, even when the road
gets rough and obstacles slow our steps.
At the same time, in
receiving the Eucharist faithfully, the Lord leads us to
follow His path — that of service, sharing and giving; and that
little that we have, the little that we are, if shared, becomes a treasure
because the power of God, who is love, descends to our poverty and transforms
it.”
Pope Francis
