Mass Readings: Genesis 3:9-24/Mark
8:1-10
Sometimes, when
following the Lord, we get to that point where we feel like we have nothing
left. If we were to continue on, we would collapse. Today’s gospel tells us
Jesus will never leave us empty or send us away hungry. He will always take
what we or others have and make it enough.
This is one
reason Jesus gave us the Mass. He knew that without it we would collapse under
the weight of our sins, anxieties, and efforts. The feeding of the four
thousand foreshadows Eucharist in that it reminds us of three important truths:
1) Jesus will never send us away hungry; 2) Jesus will take what we have and
make it more. 3) Jesus is super-sufficient. Jesus will give us everything we
need and enough to share.
Prayer: Lord
Jesus, let me never forget that you are more than enough.
