Readings for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time - 2 Kings 4:42-44; John 6:1-15
God desires for you and I to be fed. It's as simple as that. Whether it is manna in the desert, food during a plague or 5,000 people sitting on a grassy field, God desires not that we remain empty and in need, but rather that we are satiated. But there is really only one thing that feeds us, right? The Word of God. Jesus says that himself when Satan tempts Him in the desert. "Humanity does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God." Yet Jesus is wise enough to know that if our bellies are not filled, our minds cannot be reached. And so he does both. The question before us this week is - are we Philip or are we Andrew in this process?
