Today's gospel is truly one of the significant accounts of an event in Jesus' life. All four of the gospel writers have included this event in their story about Jesus. The story is about the multiplicaion of the loaves and fish. If you have a "Throckmorton," you can easily look at te four gospel writers and each one's rendition of this event in the life of the Son of God.
What is important is that in this story of John's, Jesus is always in charge. He is clear that he wanted them and us to know that he will always offer us the bread and wine consecrated in the Eucharist. And what is important for us to remember is that he will give us "as much as we should want.' And why? Is it not because he wants us to be as strong as we possible can?
So, still learning from the Son of God that he will always be with us, we have to realize how strongly he wants us to share with him the life of those who have died and followed him. He wants to give you whatever you need to make his plan a reality.
