Walking with the Word - A Simple Catholic Gospel Reflection

Tuesday, 6 January 2026 “When Love Shows Up with Snacks”


Listen Later

What happens when compassion meets inconvenience?

Today’s readings remind us that God is love — not an idea, not a feeling, but a love that shows up first, stays patient, and feeds people who didn’t plan ahead. From St John’s bold reminder that love begins with God, to the Gospel scene where Jesus feeds a hungry crowd with what looks like a very underwhelming picnic, we’re invited to laugh a little… and reflect a lot.

In this short daily reflection, we explore:

  • Why Christian love is not optional (or theoretical)
  • How God works with what we offer, not what we lack
  • Why Jesus asking the disciples to help is both funny and deeply challenging

A light, humorous take on the Word — grounded in Scripture, respectful of the faith, and honest about how hard it can be to love when we’re tired, busy, or convinced we don’t have “enough.”

Perfect for quiet prayer, daily commute listening, or anyone curious about the Catholic faith.
