“It was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
The theme of last Sunday is continued here in the Gospel. Last week, I reminded you that it was not up to you to perform the miracle ~ you just need to bring the bread and the fish! This weekend, we see that Moses didn’t perform the miracle, for God gave the manna in the desert. Moses helped prepare for it through his prayer and intercession on behalf of the people. God will work through us. We need to have an openness and willingness for Him to do so. Again, we do not perform the miracle but it is God acting through us that makes manifest His power to heal, save, restore, and strengthen. Today, how can you participate in God’s willingness to work in your life and the lives of those around you?
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Wayne
