Today's Thoughts...

​Today’s Thoughts: “Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers [and sisters], go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.”  (Pope Francis)
 
Perhaps this is what Jesus meant when he asked the disciples what they had when they were confronted with such a large crowd. Yes, the miracle of the loaves and fishes took place that day. Yes, Jesus took a few loaves and fishes and fed over five thousand people. But before he did it he asked the disciple what they had. Jesus asked the disciple to give out what they had.
 
God always provides and most of the time it is through us. Often, we look at ourselves and think, “There is not much here! I certainly don’t have enough to satisfy the crowd!” But we do and as Pope Francis says, if we go and share, if we go and become the Body of Christ then great things will happen. Miraculous things will happen. The world will be fed!
 
The question for today is “What do we have?” The challenge is to “go and share!” Have a great Monday everyone!

Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to help my parish with the summer Bible Program. Our theme was: A Summer on The Ark"

We showed the young people, 1st through 6th graders, a short film on Noah's Ark, did various arts and crafts projects, learned a song, and had a play. It was a wonderful opportunity to share my faith with these young people and help them along their faith journey. I believe I got as much out of this week as the youngsters did.
