GIVE THEM
SOMETHING
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Give them something to eat yourselves
… and he took the loaves and handed them to the disciples to distribute.” (Mark
6:34-44)
Reflection. We are in that period after Christmas
of “showing himself.” We read these same passages in Advent but then they were
part of the promise. Now they are the first steps in the fulfilment of that
promise. And the disciples are involved. They will be the ones – we will be the
ones – who carry the work forward, who bear the fruit. There is a whole sense
of thrust, like a rocket searing into space. There is a sudden new energy in a
tired world. Pope Francis’ ministry is a sign that this is possible today and we
are part of it.
Prayer. Lord, help us to welcome the call to
share in the work that you began. You continue to work among us. Let us know
that and draw strength from that. Amen.
