Cross International is a Catholic organization that works through existing structures in poor nations to get help to the poor. Approximately 98% of the money donated reaches the poor.
In the Eucharistic Celebration, the Mass, we are invited to unite ourselves to the one sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and we are given the very life of the One who died for us.
Before we can hunger for the Eucharist we must come to know Jesus--his love, his mercy--as the bread of life, as the one who brings us to eternal life.
The multiplication of the loaves and the fish was for John the Evangelist, a sign of a much deeper reality. It was a sign that Jesus provides us spiritual nourishment for our journey to the Kingdom of the Father.
