The gospel today was about the 5 loaves and 2 fish that Jesus transformed into a meal for thousands of people. People eating a meal together is such a great thing. For some reason, people value meal time. The traditional family eats dinner together and discusses the events of the day. Date nights often consist of dinner at a restaurant. Groups of friends get together on the weekends to hang out at Buffalo Wild Wings. Why is mealtime so important to people? Because it brings them together to talk and get to know each other better.
Mass each Sunday is a meal too. Together, we Catholics receive communion, a meal that can bring us closer to Jesus and also to each other. This is why it is so important for Catholics to go to Mass. We need this connection with Jesus and other Catholics like we need connections with our family and friends.
Food brings people together :)
Food, campfire, cleaning, swimming, building have been glue for thousands of years, when we connect with these simple aspect of life we connect with time. It is amazing to think that Christ embraced similar activities and valued us enough to brake his body and spill his passion on the earth for us.
