The boy has only a meager offering of loaves and fish, but Jesus multiplies them to feed thousands. In the same way, Jesus takes our meager good works and multiplies them to help thousands. Every act of love we commit ripples through the lives around us. Jesus magnifies love and turns our charitable works—no matter how small—into beacons of his Divine Love for all. So whenever we are presented with the opportunity to do good, we ought to offer whatever we have to God and let him feed His children with it. We should not let others convince us that our kindnesses are useless or meaningless. Our good works are given use and meaning by how God weaves them into his Divine Plan.
What acts of love, great or small, can we do for our fellow children of God? What opportunities to do good do we have available to us? In what ways have we noticed that our good works ripple away from us?
O Lord, let us offer you all our love so that you can magnify it and feed your children.
Amen.
