READINGS:
1 R : Acts 5: 34 - 42.
Ps 26 : 1, 4, 13 - 14.
Gos : Jn 6 : 1 - 15.
EVERY MIRACLE OF JESUS IS IN RESPONSE TO A SPECIFIC HUMAN NEED AND IN RESPONSE TO HUMAN FAITH.
THE " RAW MATERIAL " FOR A MIRACLE IS HUMAN COLLABORATION AND THE " PROCESS " IS FAITH.
HAVE YOU EVER ASKED A QUESTION THAT IF THE BOY WERE TO REFUSE TO GIVE THE FISH AND LOAVES, AND THE PEOPLE WERE TO REFUSE TO SIT FOR A MEAL WHAT WOULD HAPPEN ?
ONLY WHEN YOU ARE READY TO GIVE TO GOD YOUR ' LITTLE ' AND HAVE FAITH NO MIRACLES HAPPEN.
TRY TO HAVE THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF THE TWO AND GOD WILL NEVER LET YOU GO HUNGRY.
HE ALONE CAN SATIATE " ALL " HUNGERS.
IN THE FIRST READING GAMALIEL GIVES AN UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE;
" IF IT IS GOD'S WORK YOU CAN NOT STOP IT "
SO BUSY YOURSELF WITH GOD'S WORK AND YOU BECOME ' UNSTOPPABLE '.
IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PETTY GOALS AND AMBITIONS OF BECOMING ' LITTLE SAVIOURS ' WITHOUT GOD EXPECT IT TO LAST ONLY FOR A WHILE ,AND NOT FOREVER.
