Feeding the 5,000




Musings from the High Desert show

Summary: Every once in a while you look at a text that is as familiar "as the back of your hand," and then you notice something new. In this case it is nothing that is in the text. It's actually what is NOT in the text; namely, the note that this is a miracle, one of the "signs and wonders," as Apostle and Evangelist St. John would call it. Let's think together about the significance of the feeding of the 5000 being an ordinary rather than an extraordinary event.
