Saturation of the crowds

Encourage believers to count on God
Did you prepare a bigger feast already? So, you know what time it costs, effort, finances … What do the organizers experience when the unforeseen occur? difficulties. The gospel says something like that. “The place is deserted and time has advanced. Dissolve the multitudes, and let them go into the villages to buy food ”(Mt 13:15).
Crowds followed Jesus to a deserted place. They followed him to listen
words that gave meaning to their lives. They were so impressed with his words that they were as, they forgot everything else. They even forgot about food supplies and didn’t have one options where to buy it. A desolate place is just a desolate place and a presence of around 5,000 men, in addition to women and children, have made the situation even more difficult. We know about that, imagine what so many people need to eat? When it was evening, the disciples were aware of a serious situation, they came to Teacher with a warning: “The place is desolate and time advanced. Dissolve the multitudes, and let them go into the villages to buy food ”(Mt 13:15). Jesus, he tests the disciples, and therefore tells them to let them eat. The disciples are very much well aware of their possibilities. They have only five loaves and two fish. Of that, after all, they cannot satisfy a large crowd.

Like the disciples, we are often worried about the difficulties and how to handle it all. Our subjective view would guide us to disgust and pessimism, to forget the great hope we have from the Christian vocation. As certain folk wisdom says: “He who in he forgets God in his calculations, he will not be able to calculate correctly. ” The disciples, they calculated all their possibilities very well. They quantified the number of breads precisely and the fish at their disposal. But they forgot the most important fact, on Jesus Christ, who with his divine power could entirely change the whole situation.
Jesus did not create here as God the Father in the creation of the world, when he created everything out of nothing. But he received a small portion – two fish and five loaves, which someone had renounced for of others. Jesus performed the miracle of the multiplication of the bread by His divine power. Immediately after reproduction, he will employ his closest or disciples. By whom the crowds sit comfortably on the grass, they are in charge of the whole organization saturation of the people. The disciples did not become those whom Jesus would have preferred, or provided them with some benefits. Unless we really want to be Christ’s As disciples, let us not seek for ourselves, but consider brothers and sisters, who is around us. Many people suffer not only from physical hunger but also from hunger spiritual – lack of love, respect, understanding, …. And so let’s be careful and open to the needs of others who need to experience the miracle of satiety.

Lord Jesus, every Holy Mass is a miracle of satiety. Bread and wine are at the Holy Mass is transformed into the Body of Christ and the Blood of Christ, which are food for eternal life and satisfy the hunger of the whole man. Come, Lord Jesus, and satiate us.
