How do you treat others, especially when they interrupt your times of rest and
quiet? When Jesus and the disciples sought a lonely place to regroup and rest,
they found instead a crowd of more than five thousand people waiting for them!
Did they resent this intrusion on their hard-earned need for privacy and
refreshment? Jesus certainly didn't but welcomed them with open-arms. Jesus put
human need ahead of everything else. His compassion showed the depths of God's
love and concern for all who are truly needy. Jesus gave the people the word of
God and he healed them physically as well as spiritually. We can never intrude
upon God nor exhaust his generosity and kindness. He is ever ready to give to
those who earnestly seek him out. Do you thirst for his saving word and for his
healing power?

Gospel Mt 14:13-21
Another meditation I read today made me stop and think - are you so worried about the 5 loaves and 2 fishes that you cling to them instead of offering them to Jesus and seeing what miracle He has in store for you with those loaves and fish????
