Today is the first of five Sundays with gospel readings from John 6, the first four of which focus on Jesus as the bread of life. As Jesus feeds thousands of people with five loaves and two fish, we might also ask, “How can a bit of bread and wine contain so much grace?” It is not the adequacy of our supplies or our skills that finally makes the difference: it is the power of Jesus working in the littlest and least transforming us and our possessions to serve others in this world so that the hungry are satisfied.
