  • Summary

  • Today's readings:

    1. First reading: Kings 4:42-44
    2. Second reading: Ephesians 4:1-6
    3. Gospel: John 6:1-15


    Today’s readings focus on God’s providence and the call to unity and humility. In the first reading from Kings, Elisha miraculously feeds a hundred people with twenty barley loaves, prefiguring Jesus’ miracle of feeding the five thousand. This emphasizes God’s ability to provide abundantly beyond our expectations.

    In the second reading, Paul urges the Ephesians to live in unity, humility, and love, reflecting the oneness of the body of Christ. This call to unity is central to living out our faith authentically and in harmony with others.

    The Gospel recounts the miraculous feeding of the five thousand, showcasing Jesus’ compassion and divine provision. Jesus uses a small offering, five loaves and two fish, to feed a multitude, demonstrating that even the smallest offerings can be transformed by God’s power when given in faith. The miracle also points to Jesus as the bread of life, who satisfies our deepest spiritual hunger.

    These readings together remind us of God’s endless provision, the importance of unity in the Christian community, and the transformative power of faith and generosity.
