Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?” … One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?” Jesus said, “Have the people recline.” … Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted.
— Jn 6:5,8-10a,11
We hear the familiar story of the multiplication of the loaves and fish. Andrew did not know what he was doing when he brought the young boy to Jesus that day, but in doing so, he made the miracle possible. We never know what possibilities we are initiating when we bring someone to Jesus. The message in this gospel is obvious – Give to Jesus what you have, not matter how small or insignificant it may seem. If we humbly lay ourselves at his service, there is no saying what he will do with us and through us. Ask for the grace this week to be willing to give the “little” we have, remembering the boy in the gospel whose little became much in the hands of Christ.
