Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Each of the Gospels gives one or more accounts of Jesus feeding the crowds by multiplying the loaves and the fish. Often our focus is simply on the miracle, and we miss the fact that Jesus is feeding the crowds in more than one way.
We live in a merciless age.
Gone are the days of the uncalculating kind word, the politely doffed hat, and the deferential door-opening. No longer is it customary for the young to offer their bus seat to an elder, for the rushing commuter to allow someone to merge, or for the unconsciously offered “please” and timely penned thank-you note. When any of this does happen, it is the exception and not the rule. Flatly counter-cultural instead of cultural.
