GOSPEL  REFLECTION

The news of the death of John the Baptist prompted Jesus to go off to be alone, but the crowds followed him. Despite his personal sorrow he was able to reach out in compassion to the crowd. When Jesus saw the crowd, he recognised their need and reached out to them. The scene of the hungry people is a Eucharistic symbol reminding us of the sacred meal to which all believers are invited to receive nourishment from the Lord. When the disciples became aware of the problem they wanted to send the crowd away but Jesus told them ‘You give them something to eat’. They thought what they had was insufficient but Jesus used the little they had to feed the crowd.
