We usually think that the important things are the big things in life.
Some of the so-called big things are like wealth, status, looks and whatever that will boost our ego.
We may not pay that much attention to the small and little things in life but they are equally as important as the big things of life.
In the gospel, Jesus was expressing His mission of salvation through His healing ministry.
He cured the lame, the crippled, the blind, the dumb and many other illnesses and diseases.
But He also cared about the welfare of the people.
He knew that the people were hungry and He felt sorry for them.
So besides the spiritual and physical wellness of the people, He also cared about their basic need for food.
In the miracle of the multiplication of bread, Jesus showed that God is also concerned about the small and little needs of the people, which is just as important.
As we come for the Eucharist, we are nourished spiritually and physically.
The Eucharist we receive is a sign that God will provide for all our needs, big and small.
May we put our faith and trust in God that He loves and cares for us.
That is what Jesus came to show and tell us.
