The Miracle of Satisfaction

Based on the Gospel reading: Matthew 14:13-21

We all feel overwhelmed at times.  We all face moments when the needs around us and within us are simply too much.  We look at our own resources, and we see that we simply do not have enough to satisfy ourselves or anyone else.

Yet even then, it is hard for us to stop.  It seems easier to just keep going, to move faster, to work harder, to live like the Energizer Bunny.



Jesus says, of our paltry resources, "Bring them here to me."   He has compassion on us, and He tells us to SIT DOWN, to receive what we need from His hands.  Just as he multiplied the loaves and the fish, He multiplies what we have as we use it and share it.

We look to Him, we receive what we need from Him, and miraculously, we are satisfied.
