Homily for Sunday Ordinary 17 B

Send us a text

Only John tells us that it was a young boy who offered his meager lunch. The Israelites wandered 40 years in the wilderness; the actual trip might have taken 11 days. But it took two generations for the children of Israel to get the taste of Pharaoh’s bread out of their mouths.

When they ate Pharaoh’s bread, all they could taste was scarcity. The boy is the next generation. He sees with new eyes, a world filled with the abundance of God’s creation.

I have Mass on Sunday, July 28 at St. Isidore @ 9:30/11:30 am.
