MULTIPLICATION TABLE
"How can I set this before a hundred men?" —2 Kings 4:43
Many times what we have to offer seems so inadequate. We may only have a
couple free hours a week. So how can we renew the Church? We may be
confined to home. Our main contact with people is by phone. Under these
circumstances, how can we make disciples of all nations? (Mt 28:19) We
have five dollars to give, but the church needs $100,000 to shelter the
homeless. What good is five dollars?
We often find ourselves in the same situation as Jesus when He found
Himself with five loaves, two fish, and fifteen to twenty thousand people
to feed. Perhaps we don't need food multiplied as much as time, energy,
and money multiplied. We need Jesus' multiplication miracle daily to
change our inadequacy into His sufficiency. Jesus works this miracle daily
in the Mass. Because of this, the early Church called the Mass "breaking
of the bread." When Jesus breaks bread, our little lives are multiplied to
transform the world.
Prayer: Jesus, I give You all of my little life. Multiply it.
Promise: "Make every effort to preserve the unity which has the Spirit as
its origin and peace as its binding force." —Eph 4:3
Praise: Praise You, risen Jesus! Your broken body has multiplied our
healing. Praise You, Lamb of God, for shepherding us with Your love.
