The Word In Our Lives Gospel Reflection Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time “Counting Loaves” Usually, Jesus does not have to repeat himself. When he tells a cripple to get up and walk, or a blind man to wash his eyes, they do so and are immediately cured. In today’s gospel, however, the disciples do not drop everything to start feeding the crowd. Instead of trusting Jesus, they start counting loaves of bread. (Note that the crowd does not hesitate to sit down when Jesus tells them to.) After Jesus blesses the loaves and fish, the disciples finally obey. Like the disciples, I sometimes hesitate to follow Jesus’ commands. Instead of trusting God completely, I find myself “counting loaves.” I might not have enough time to help the poor, or enough money to feed them. I might not have the words to comfort the dying, or to encourage someone who is depressed. I may be counting the chores I have to do at home. (Or counting the episodes of "Doctor Who” on my DVR that I haven’t watched yet.) The excuses begin to sound lame when I list them. So how do we get going? Maybe by listening to the first two readings. Isaiah asks why we spend money on things that won’t satisfy us. (Is 55:2) He tells us to heed the Lord’s words if we want to truly live. What God is telling us through Isaiah is that we wouldn’t be distracted by those excuses if we paid more attention to God and how much He loves us. St. Paul says it even more forcefully. He reminds us that nothing can separate us from God’s love, even things like distress, persecution, famine, or even death itself. These are more serious than any of my excuses. The point is that Jesus rose from the dead to show how much God loves us. Can’t I find time to spend with God and experience that love? Can’t I see it in the eyes of those who love me? Do I feel that love when God forgives my sins? The more I experience God’s love for me, the more likely I am to show that love to others, instead of just counting loaves. Questions of the Week Question for Children: What are the ways that Jesus shows He loves you? Question for Youth: How do you make sure that your life decisions correspond to your faith? Question for Adults: In your experience, what “false obstacles” have you or people you know experienced, separating them from Christ? Things such as divorce, or marrying outside the church, or not attending Mass, or others?
