The Gospel (John 6:1-11) on Sunday, July 30, narrates the Feeding of the Multitude. Three things are worth noting here:
First, Jesus knows of the needs of the people. They had been with him for several days now. He taught them because He saw that they were like sheep without a shepherd. He knew that they were hungry. He is not oblivious to the situation and needs of the crowds. Jesus knows the needs of His people.
Second: And so, he decided to provide them with food. Jesus made use of the little that was presented to Him to provide some food for the people. Jesus did not stop at knowing what the needs were. He acted on the problem. Jesus provides for the needs of His people.
Third, the food that Jesus provided went beyond what was needed. There was more than what was needed. They were able to fill several baskets of left-overs. This shows that when Jesus provides, it is always more than what we need, more than what we expect.
Thank you Lord, for knowing our needs, providing for us, more than what we need. May we always be grateful to you, o Lord!

just as there is breaking of the bread that it may be shared, perhaps there could also be a breaking of the Word, that it may be proclaimed, that it may give life...here are attempts to break the Word
