The Prophet’s Profit If you want to compare miracles in the first reading and the gospel, Elisha did his first, but Jesus did it better. Elisha had a hundred people to feed with twenty barley loaves and a handful of fresh grain. Jesus had five thousand people and only five loaves and a couple fish. So was Jesus trying to show up Elisha? Neither Jesus nor Elisha ever did a miracle for their own benefit. When Elisha cure the kings servant, he refused to accept a gift, because it would imply that Elisha did the miracle, while the prophet knew that God had cured him. Jesus refused to let the crowds make him a king. The miracle of feeding the five thousand was not done just for the crowd. He was using it to teach the disciples something important. He knew there would be times when they felt overwhelmed, so he showed them what God can do with our meager abilities. There are millions of people hungry for the good news that Jesus brings to the world. Remember the miracle of the loaves when you only have a few dollars to give to the missions, or when you’re not sure you know enough to teach someone about Jesus. And remember that you do those things, not to make you look holy, but to let God show his loving power.

A LETTER OF CONGRATULATIONS

Dear Fr. With, Allow me to offer my congratulations to you and the parishioners of Resurrection R.C. Church on reaching your 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) goal of $44,539 in pledges. You and your Appeal Team, as well as your parishioners, are all to be commended for the diligence, sacrifice and personal commitment each has made in this important endeavor for the Church in Brooklyn and Queens. Your leadership and example in implementing the local Appeal is an inspiration to all. It is because of the willingness of your faithful parishioners to answer the call of Christ to care for each other and build up the Church that so many will be helped. Because of the collective generosity of Resurrection parish, the presence of Christ Jesus will be brought to so many through Catholic Charities, Catholic Migration Services, Vocations Support, Catholic Schools Scholarship Assistance, Chaplaincies, Care for Retired Priests, Parish Assistance, Faith Formation, and your own Parish. Each of you have responded to the 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal in thanks for all that is accomplished through parish and diocesan ministry, recognizing the hope that goes hand-in-hand with your charity. It is my prayer that your parishioners will continue to emphasize participation in the Appeal, while understanding the magnitude of the impact that our Annual Catholic Appeal has on all the people who make up the Diocese in Brooklyn and Queens. Thanking you again for your leadership and asking the Lord to extend His choicest blessings upon you and the people of Resurrection R.C. Church, I am Sincerely in Christ, Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Ph.D., D.D. Bishop of Brooklyn
