CORPUS CHRISTI
 |
| Feeding the multitudes, Bernardo Strozzi, early 17th century. [PD-US] |
Jesus spoke to the crowds
about the kingdom of God,
and he healed those who needed to be cured.
As the day was drawing to a close,
the Twelve approached him and said,
"Dismiss the crowd
so that they can go to the surrounding villages
and farms
and find lodging and provisions;
for we are in a deserted place here."
He said to them, "Give them some food
yourselves."
They replied, "Five loaves and two fish are
all we have,
unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these
people."
Now the men there numbered about five thousand.
Then he said to his disciples,
"Have them sit down in groups of about fifty."
They did so and made them all sit down.
Then taking the five loaves and the two fish,
and looking up to heaven,
he said the blessing over them, broke them,
and gave them to the disciples to set before the
crowd.
They all ate and were satisfied.
And when the leftover fragments were picked up,
they filled twelve wicker baskets.
Luke
9:11b-17
