In the wilderness, four thousand people have followed Jesus for three days and have nothing left to eat. Before anyone asks, He sees their hunger and feeds them. This reflection for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost draws together Christ's compassion in the Gospel of Mark, Saint Paul's teaching that baptism buries us with Christ and raises us to new life, and the Introit's promise that the Lord is the strength of His people. With insights from Saint John Chrysostom and Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, families will discover how the God who multiplied seven loaves still feeds His children today.
