Msgr. Charles Pope Sunday GuideJuly 26, 2024

Sunday, July 28, is the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Mass readings: 2 Kings 4:42-44; Psalm 145:10-11, 15-16, 17-18; Ephesians 4:1-6; John 6:1-15

We have in today’s Gospel the very familiar Miracle of the Loaves and the Fishes. It contains a personal appeal directly from the Lord’s lips to our ears: “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?” The Lord still bids us to get busy and join him in feeding the multitudes.

We had those readings in church today, and it was a good service. It would have been cool to see the fish and bread get multiplied first hand. That reminds me, I need to make myself some lunch.
