A few years ago, a local restaurant donated turkeys for our parishioners to feed people at Pinellas Hope on Thanksgiving Day. About 150 people enjoyed a delicious cooked dinner.
Every night on local newscasts, churches and organizations collect food and distribute it to families, especially during Christmas. Our Ave Maria Guild has a Christmas tree with tags for people to choose and buy a gift for a needy child or adult.
Americans have generous hearts that never quit. Sadly, the bread will run out, the socks will get holes, and we’ll be right back at it again—cooking and handing out more food and socks. Hunger for the bread of this world never truly satisfies.
Every day in prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, a fire burns in my heart for people who have given up receiving Jesus in Holy Communion each week.
Whatever their reasons, the love in my heart for them keeps the Fire burning. It’s the hunger Jesus has in His heart to heal all our hurts and feed us with Bread that always satisfies.
“My heart is moved with pity for the crowd,” He tells us in the gospel. “I do not want to send them away hungry for fear they may collapse on the way.” Carry these words of Jesus in your heart today, “I do not want to send them away hungry.”
Gospel Challenge:
Where are you hungry that the bread this world never satisfies but only makes you hungrier? Come to Jesus, the Bread of your Life who always satisfies. Discover how generous Jesus can be.
Love Your Neighbor Please join me in praying for all baptized Catholics to be faithful to Jesus in the Holy Mass every weekend. Hail Mary, full of grace…
