Friday 29 April

ST CATHERINE of SIENA (M)

Acts 5:34-42; Psalm 27; John 6:1-15

Jesus uses our gifts

On seeing the crowd approaching, Jesus immediately recognises they would be hungry. Phillip, rather practically, sees the cost! How did a small boy come to be carrying five loaves and two fish? Andrew notices him and Jesus subsequently makes the crowd comfortable and feeds the five thousand, with surplus! My own God-given gifts may be small but making them available for God to use can result in significant effect. How might I enable my gifts to be used?
