To Feed the Hungry
(pages 2â10)
Focus
When we choose to feed the hungry, we must be authentic. The foundation of feeding the hungry is practicing the two greatest commandments: love God above all others and love your neighbor as yourself.
Sacred Scripture
The story of the feeding of the 5000 (loaves and fishes) in ALL 4 Gospels:
Matthew 14:13â21
âWhen Jesus heard of it, he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said, âThis is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.â [Jesus] said to them, âthere is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves.â But they said to him, âFive loaves and two fish are all we have.â Then he said, âBring them here to me,â and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left overâtwelve wicker baskets full. Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and children.â
Mark 6:32â44
âSo they went off in a boat to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. By now it was already late and his disciples approached him and said, âThis is a deserted place and it is already very late. Dismiss them so they can go to the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat.â he said to them in reply, âGive them some food yourselves.â But they said to him, âAre we to buy two hundred daysâ wages worth of food and give it to them to eat?â He asked them, âHow many loaves do you have? Go and see.â And when they had found out they said, âFive loaves and two fish.â So he gave orders to have them sit down in groups on the green grass. The people took their places in rows by hundreds and by fifties. Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to [his] disciples to set before the people; he also divided the two fish among them all. They all ate and were satisfied. And they picked up twelve wicker baskets full of fragments and what was left of the fish. Those who ate [of the loaves] were five thousand men.â
Luke 9:10â17
âWhen the apostles returned, they explained to him what they had done. He took them and withdrew in private to a town called Bethsaida. The crowds, meanwhile, learned of this and followed him. He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he healed those who needed to be cured. As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve approached him and said, âDismiss the crowds so they can go to the surrounding villages and farms and find lodging and provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.â He said to them, âGive them some food yourselves.â They replied, âFive loaves and two fish are all we have, unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people.â Now the men there numbered about five thousand. Then he said to his disciples, âHave them sit down in groups of [about] fifty.â They did so and made them all sit down. Then taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing over them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. They all ate and were satisfied. And when the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets.â
John 6:1â13
âAfter this, Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee [of Tiberias]. A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick. Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. The Jewish feast of Passover was near. When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, âWhere can we buy enough food for them to eat?â He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, âTwo hundred daysâ wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little [bit].â One of the disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, âThere is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?â Jesus said, âHave the people recline.â Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted. When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, âGather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted. So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat. When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, âThis is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world.â Since Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry him off to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain alone.â
Catechism Connection
Give us this day, our DAILY bread: In Brief
#2857 In the Our Father, the object of the first three petitions is the glory of the Father: the sanctification of his name, the coming of the kingdom, and the fulfillment of his will. The four others present our wants to him: they ask that our lives be nourished, healed of sin, and made victorious in the struggle of good over evil.
#2858 By asking âhallowed be thy nameâ we enter into Godâs plan, the sanctification of his name-revealed first to Moses and then in Jesus-by us and in us, in every nation and in each man.
#2859 By the second petition, the Church looks first to Christâs return and the final coming of the Reign of God. It also prays for the growth of the Kingdom of God in the âtodayâ of our own lives.
#2860 In the third petition, we ask our Father to unite our will to that of his Son, so as to fulfill his plan of salvation in the life of the wo...
