God Shares Our Gifts!
What would you give Him? He could have anything! In today’s Gospel reading, we hear the story we all know—the wonderful miracle story of the feeding of the 5,000 men (plus women and children!). In the story, remember, the people came to listen to Jesus speak. After a long time, the huge crowds of people were hungry, and the disciples wanted to send them away so they could go and get their own food. But our Lord answered them, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” Our Lord told the disciples to show love for the people. Show them love and feed them!

THE HOLY TRANSFIGURATION: GOD SHOWS US HIS GLORY!
You know how to make the sign of the Cross, don’t you? Do you know why we do the cross the way we do? You know
the three fingers together mean the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You know the two little fingers folded down mean that Jesus was a man and He is God! This Thursday, we celebrate the great feast of the Holy Transfiguration.
We celebrate the feast of the Transfiguration on Aug. 6th (OC: Aug. 19th).
