17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Many people take vacations during the summer, and it seems like the evangelist Mark needs a break, too. Because Mark’s Gospel is the shortest, we take five weeks each summer in Cycle B when we draw on the Gospel of John instead. Notice that last week’s Gospel ended with Jesus teaching a vast crowd. The next verse in Mark begins his account of the miraculous feeding of that multitude. So, our first passage from the sixth chapter of John begins with a similar feeding of a multitude.

God Multiplies What We Surrender to Him
by Douglas Sousa, STL on Friday, July 16, 2021
It does not take much to do good, to relieve suffering, or to show love. God wants to do great things in our families, parishes, and communities. He wants to feed the hungry, He wants to console the suffering and He wants to change hardened hearts. But He needs us to help Him.

17th Sunday in Ordinary Timein OT

2 Kings 4:42-44

Give it to the people to eat

In the first reading, the prophet Elisha shows great faith in the power of God.
Elisha insists that everyone will be fed with an obvious insufficient amount of food.
The true nourishment of the prophets is God’s word which overflows and nourishes all around them.

Ephesians 4:1-6

Bear with one another lovingly

The unity given to Christians through one Baptism in Christ is the subject of today’s passage from the Letter to the Ephesians.
Christians are one Body in Christ.
This unity is exemplified by Christians living in peace.

John 6:1-15

Jesus gave the people all the food they wanted

The miraculous feeding in today’s Gospel provides a glimpse of the heavenly banquet, where there will never be hunger again.
The early Christians recognized in this miracle that hunger for life is the hunger that Jesus satisfies.
This story of the multiplication of the loaves becomes the symbol for Jesus’ Eucharistic feeding of his disciples through the ages.
