Crisis(need) +Human Participation + God's Blessing = Miracle....

Mark:6:30-43

".....You give them something to eat......and he said to them ,"How many loaves have you? Go and See.....taking the five loaves and two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves......"

Bible talks about how God intervene in the midst of human struggles,need, crisis.....
Shiprah and Puah were used by God in the midst of violence......God uses midwives to counter the agenda of a violent ruler.........really that helped to the rise of a new leader in the history of Isreal....Moses....our bold interventions with God will open up new doors of freedom,hope....to many...

God is not an abstract reality..but God lives in Community(Trinity) and God moves with the rest of creation and God always look forward for the human participation.......

Feeding the thousands......God asks....how many loaves have you?.....a small boy...real hero of the story...shares his food....

I used to imagine that there were many with food...but none of them hesitated to open the food...they thought..if I will open...then I have to share my food with others........nobody responded but the boy said....I have five....God blessed it..see the miracle.....

Hunger is a reality....there..even now....we used to hoard...hesitate to share....

Jesus always ask to the people whom they demand healing or his intervention from him..........what you are expecting from me?...go and wash your eyes..take your coat and walk.....

In First Testament(Old Testament)we could see many stories....God uses many.....

Jesus said to them...fill the jar with water..servants obeyed.....

Today..look around...there are needs, crises, struggles,....in our society, parish....family.....

Where are we?....are we ready to participate with our God....or looking and watching with folded hands ..hesitate to open our minds, hearts, resources......then we may not be with God in the miraculous interventions of our God....

Jesus asks..you should feed them....how many loaves you have.....
Are we ready to participate with our God like the boy who shared his food...midwives...servents.....widow....many..?

Don't forget God will continue the miraculous interventions in the history.......
If we are not with God....then..we are out of the Kingdom of God...God has many options to continue God's mission...
