Reflect: Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - In next Sunday’s Gospel we hear the familiar story of how Jesus feeds the crowds in the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. We can take many messages from the Scripture readings of this Mass in relation to the importance of the Eucharist in our lives, The miracles encourages us also to have faith that Jesus will take what we have and make it enough to satisfy and fill all our needs. We ask for this blessing when we say” Give us this day our daily bread”
