## Resource

(John 6:1-13) Father Anthony reflects on the wonder of John 6:1–13, where Jesus meets a vast crowd in a deserted place and, as evening falls, the disciples see only scarcity—too many people and not enough bread—until a boy offers five barley loaves and two fish, a small gift that feels almost laughably insufficient. Jesus receives it without scorn, has the people sit as if for a banquet, then takes the bread, gives thanks, and distributes it—gratitude before multiplication—until everyone eats “as much as they wanted,” revealing a Savior who does not ration mercy but satisfies hunger with overflowing care. And when He commands the fragments be gathered “so that nothing may be lost,” Father Anthony lingers on the tenderness of a God who values even the leftovers, teaching us that what we place in Christ’s hands—however little—can become provision for many, and that this hillside miracle quietly points to a deeper truth: the One who multiplies bread is preparing hearts to recognize Him as the Bread of Life, given for the world.
