WEEKEND MASSESS
Saturday: 5:15 pm
Sunday: 9:00 am (Broadcast on KATE 1450 AM)
11:00 am (Español)
GOD’S GENEROSITY The Lord fed a large crowd of people. After testing Philip and Andrew on logistics, he showed everyone that the priority lay elsewhere. With the usual generosity of members of the Holy Trinity, Jesus gave the crowd as much as was wanted; then he ordered that leftovers be picked up so nothing would be wasted. Twelve baskets were left over—one for each apostle’s use. This prophetic gesture foreshadowed the Eucharist. The Lord nourishes each of us in the bosom of the apostolic church. Thanks be to God! Text, Philip J. Sandstrom, STD © 2000, OCP. All rights reserved.
La generosidad de Dios El Señor dio de comer a las multitudes. Después de poner a prueba a Felipe y Andrés, Jesús mostró a todos los presentes lo que era importante. Con la conocida generosidad de la Santísima Trinidad, Jesús alimentó a los que estaban allí hasta que estuvieron satisfechos. Después ordenó que se recogiera lo que sobraba. Llenaron doce canastos con los sobrantes: uno para cada apóstol. Este gesto profético anticipó la Eucaristía. El Señor nos alimenta en el seno de la Iglesia apostólica. ¡Demos gracias a Dios!

From the Desk of Father Kurt In the Gospel this Sunday Jesus feeds the multitudes with only five fish and two loaves of bread. Unlike Jesus in the Gospel, we live in a world of abundance, yet through out the world millions of children go to bed hungry at night. The United States alone has the capacity to grow enough corn to feed the world over two times, yet we as a country pay our farmers not to grow corn, and there is tons of food in storage bins in the United States that get tossed every year because of rot.
Pure Capitalism ignores the reality that there will always be economic inequality in our world. It is not right to assume that a free market economy will provide for the needs of all. There must be a social conscience in society that demands that the basic human needs of all be met. If we are willing to be generous with what we have, Jesus will take it and multiply it as he did for the boy in the Gospel today. There is no need for hunger in our world. Let us be generous with what we have and allow ourselves to be the instrument of the miracles of Jesus.
Love in Christ, Father Kurt Farrell
