Reflection
Each year the Church focuses on one of the Gospels, and this year it focuses on Mark's. But because Mark's is the shortest of the four (sixteen chapters), the church dips into the Gospel of John and considers the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. This Sunday and the three following Sundays are all devoted to the lengthy sixth chapter from the Gospel according to John. We are invited to use this languorous late summer time to mediate on the Bread of Life. As we consider today's readings, we are struck by the similarity of the first reading and the Gospel. Both tell of the journey from scarcity to abundance. Both tell of the presence (acknowledge or not) of the God's grace. In the first, less familiar reading, the non-writing prophet Elisha, successor to the great Elijah, is with his men in a dry place without access to food or provision. Through the generosity of a local farmer from the coastal plains, Elisha barely enough for one hundred men. It takes the befuddled servant to state this obvious fact. Undaunted, Elisha gives directions for the orderly distribution of the food, which by God's action is more than adequate. The same pattern occurs in John's telling of the story of the multiplication of the loaves. Here, fishes are added, but the loaves remain the type consumed by the poor-barely loaves. In John's story, the crowds are enormous, even overwhelming. Philip cannot imagine how they can all be fed. In this he doubts, just as Elisha's servant did. It is Jesus who is sure of himself as he calmly directs his disciples to organize the crowd for the feast that is to come. Though the food is more than adequate, the crowd's understanding comes up short. They want to be assured of daily bread and a king who would supply it in abundance. This is an understandable desire during a time when famine was as near as the most recent crop failure. Jesus knew that this short-range dream of food was about all the crowd could manage on this day, so he slipped away for the time being.
Father Oliver is in the process of completing the building of his parish church in Nigeria. There is a poster in the lobby showing the project. He is seeking any donations to help complete the project. You can contact him directly through the church office or place your donation in an envelope with his name on it and put it into the collection basket at Mass.
