WELCOME
One of Jesus’ miracles or signs that appears in all of the gospels is the multiplication of the loaves. The fact that this sign is included in all four Gospels indicates its importance. Of course, each of the four evangelists highlights certain details about this sign. In the version that Matthew provides for us in today’s Gospel reading, the following details catch my eye: It starts by announcing the death of John the Baptist, and Jesus’ taking a boat to a deserted place by himself. In a very human way, Jesus no doubt needed to process the death of his cousin, by being in silence and meditating. What sorts of things do we do when we feel sadness, grief and are mourning? Knowing that he had left, they followed him on foot. We do not know for certain where this event took place, but it seems to have been close to the Lake of Galilee where Jesus did most of his public ministry. When Jesus disembarked and saw the vast crowds, He was moved with 'pity' (sympathy) for them, curing the sick. The gospel makes the reference: 'when it was evening' and when it was evening is when Jesus sat with his disciples and shared with them the Last Supper. For that reason this sign can be understood as a foreshadowing of the Eucharist. I particularly like Jesus' invitation to his apostles to feed the vast crowds themselves. The apostles replied, “five loaves and two fish are all we have here.” This response teaches us that we offer to Jesus what we have, (what we are), however small or seemingly inadequate. The blessing that Jesus does over the loaves and the fish is also interesting. "Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples" (This evokes the words of the Last Supper, doesn’t it?) “who in turn gave them to the crowds.” In offering the bread, first to his disciples, we can see the priestly ministry of the apostles, and his successors, offering the Holy Eucharist to feed God's people. The last thing I want to meditate on is the phrase, “they picked the fragments left over.” This encourages us to take special care with the Eucharist, as we should with all encounters with our Lord. Let us offer to Jesus all that we have, all that we are, knowing that he takes it all, and transforms it into sustenance for ourselves and for our world.

Uno de los milagros o signos de Jesús que aparece en todos los evangelios es la multiplicación de los panes. El hecho de que este signo esté incluido en los cuatro Evangelios indica su importancia. Por supuesto, cada uno de los cuatro evangelistas destaca ciertos detalles sobre esta signo. En el pasaje de la lectura según el Evangelio de Mateo que las Iglesia nos ofrece hoy quiero meditar en estos detalles me llaman la atención: La lectura comienza anunciando la muerte de Juan el Bautista, y Jesús yéndose en una barca a un lugar desértico él solo. De una manera muy humana, Jesús sin duda necesitaba procesar la muerte de su primo, al estar en silencio y meditando. ¿Qué tipo de cosas hacemos cuando sentimos tristeza, pena y luto? Sabiendo que se había ido, la muchedumbre lo siguieron a pie. No sabemos con certeza dónde tuvo lugar este acontecimiento, pero parece ser que sucedió cerca del lago de Galilea, donde Jesús hizo la mayor parte de su ministerio público. Cuando Jesús desembarcó y vio a la gran muchedumbre, se sintió compasión por ellos (sintió con ellos), curando a los enfermos. El evangelio también hace la referencia: 'cuando empezaba a oscurecer' y es precisamente cuando empezaba a oscurecer que Jesús se sentó con sus discípulos y compartió con ellos la Última Cena. Por esa razón, este signo puede entenderse como un presagio de la Eucaristía. Particularmente me gusta la invitación de Jesús a sus apóstoles para alimentar a la muchedumbre. Los apóstoles respondieron: "cinco panes y dos pescados son todo lo que tenemos aquí". Esta respuesta nos enseña que le ofrecemos a Jesús lo que tenemos, (lo que somos), por pequeño o aparentemente inadecuado. La bendición que Jesús hace sobre los panes y los peces también es interesante. "Tomando los cinco panes y los dos pescado, y mirando al cielo, dijo la bendición, partió los panes y se los dio a los discípulos" (Esto evoca las palabras de la Última Cena, ¿no?) quienes a su vez se los dio a la muchedumbre". Al ofrecer el pan, primero a sus discípulos, podemos ver el ministerio sacerdotal de los apóstoles y sus sucesores, ofreciendo la Sagrada Eucaristía para alimentar al pueblo de Dios. Lo último en lo que quiero meditar es en la frase, "recogieron los fragmentos sobrantes". Esto nos anima a tener especial cuidado con la Eucaristía, como deberíamos con todos los encuentros con nuestro Señor. Ofrezcamos a Jesús todo lo que tenemos, todo lo que somos, sabiendo que él lo toma todo y lo transforma en sustento para nosotros y para nuestro mundo.
DEL PADRE JHONNATAN:
SEEDS PLANTED FOR LIFE DEAR FAITH FORMATION FAMILIES - I trust you are doing well and staying healthy during this extended situation we find ourselves in. Like you, I’m praying this will clear up so we can get back to some sense of “normalcy”. I thought it would be good to send a letter to provide an update. Since we don’t fully know how the situation is going to progress in the weeks and months ahead, we ask you to continue to pray for both wisdom and faith as we navigate these uncharted waters. Your children’s Sacraments are very precious to us, we are waiting for our Bishop’s approval and guidelines to re-open. We’re planning to accommodate your children’s Sacraments as soon as it is safe to do so. While we wait, we would like to continue getting children ready for Reconciliation and First Communion. Please help them to complete their formation doing the following: From the Eucharist “Go and Seek” Eucharist Student booklet. (you received it with the banner materials). A) Read the 10 readings: 1.- We are part of the Church. 2.- Jesus cares for us. 3.- We ask for forgiveness. 4.- We give thanks to God 5.- We learn from the Bible 6.- We are United in Faith 7.- We celebrate the gift of the Eucharist. 8.- We pray as Jesus taught us.
9.- Jesus is present with us. 10.- We are sent forth to share love. B) Please talk to your children about “things to remember.” C) Make sure you have banners ready for when the time comes. As for enrichment, you may do the “chapter activities” and the “Eucharist Treasure Map”. Once we have permission from our Bishop, we will be sending out dates for you to RSVP. Please let me know if you don’t have all the materials you need to conclude with your child’s formation. I want to thank everyone for your patience and prayers during these uncertain times. I’m looking forward to continuing my ministry at Holy Cross Parish and celebrating the Sacraments with your children. In Christ, Claudia Manrique - Faith Formation Ministry
