A Feast Spread Before Us Luke 9:13
Five loaves and two fish are all we have,
unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people.
We humans are usually unaware of God’s designs. The disciples decide they have a problem: 5,000 people who have been listening to Jesus’ preaching are hungry, and it’s getting late. Solution: Send them away, for certainly the apostles shouldn’t be expected to provide for them themselves. Imagine the shopping trip that would require, the money! I can imagine them thinking, “We are tired, too, and hungry.
This is what I call “stingy thinking,” and I am guilty of it myself. Instead of approaching a situation from the prospective of what God might do, I approach it from what I alone would do—or don’t want to do. These situations become problems. For God there is no problem. Because God is love, he gives himself, as Jesus at the Last Supper provided his Church with his Body and Blood for food and drink. He foresaw our hunger and thirst and spread a feast before us.
But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them: for of such is the kingdom of God”
