The Feeding of the Five Thousand (Mt 14: 13-21)

Sharing of the sorrow with others lessens it. Sharing of the joy with others doubles it. It’s an old wisdom. Therefore we need good friends to share our sorrows and joyful moments. What about sharing something with Jesus?

When we share something with Jesus it is multiplied into 5000 times. That is what we see in this gospel incident. When the 5 loves and 2 fish were given to Jesus it became so huge that could cater the need of five thousand plus people. That is the divine power. To enjoy this divine power what we need to do?

First – bring to Jesus the blessings that we have received (material, mental or spiritual).

Second – Readiness to give to Jesus for His use the things that we have.

When we give our sorrows and sufferings to Jesus he is there to remove it completely (where as in the case friend ship it is just lessoned). When we give our happiness and the good things to Jesus He develops it for so many people to get benefit out of that (in the case of sharing with friends it is just doubled).

Let us bring to Jesus whatever we have and what we are. Let He use it for His Glory.
