Summary: While salvation is a free gift, it is not "cheap". To enter into the life of Christ costs us our comfort, our convenience, our desire to have things go our way, and sometimes even our own lives. Christianity is not simply about "being good", it is about being transformed.

Summary: In the Gospel reading today, we read about Jesus and the miracle of feeding the multitude of 5,000 men with only five loaves and the two fish. As some theologians have observed -- In Luke's Gospel we see Jesus either going to a meal, at a meal, coming from a meal, or talking about a meal!

The Eucharist meal is the central sacrament that is prefigured by these various "meal" events in the Gospels. Just as in the miracle of the feeding of the crowds, so the Eucharistic miracle recognized as the continual feeding of Christians (both in the early church and today).
