This week’s Gospel story recounts the tale of Jesus’ multiplication of the loaves and fishes in order to feed the vast crowds that had gathered to hear him preach.
All too often, we take for granted the many things for which we should be grateful. We must remember that not everyone is blessed with such gifts.
Currently there is a mound of dirt in our front yard. Under that mound is a statue. A statue of St. Joseph—upside down—facing the street. Or is he facing the house? I don’t remember which way we placed him. Anyway, next to the dirt is a For Sale sign.
Once the weather gets nice, there’s not a day that goes by when our street isn’t filled with kids. We live on a cul-de-sac and our circle is the playground for the entire neighborhood. It is also the gathering place for the moms.
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus tells the disciples to go and rest after they return from their journey of spreading the Gospel message to others.
As a mother of four, quiet time is in short supply. But our faith provides plenty of avenues for reflection, such as prayer and meditation.
My hope is that someday my kids will discover their own personal chapels—wherever that may be.
