It was late in the afternoon when Jesus told the disciples to give the crowds
something to eat. But they had no more than five loaves and two fish and there
were about five thousand people there. So Jesus said to the twelve disciples, “Get
the people to sit down.” Then Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish and,
looking up to heaven, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to his disciples
to hand out to the crowd. They all ate as much as they wanted and the leftovers

Why couldn’t the disciples feed the people?

“Jesus is the Bread of Life for our families.”
NOURISH
Pope Francis
With Jesus’ love we will always be nourished. Ask your child what
the word ‘nourish’ means to them. Then, each of you talk about
something, other than food, that nourishes you and helps you
grow. Perhaps it is: a special friendship, being praised, praying,
your faith, the love and care you receive, a hobby or sport,
the Church and the sacraments. Who gives you these things?

Just as we eat bread to nourish our bodies, Jesus (especially in Holy
Communion) nourishes our souls. Who else should we remember
to thank for nourishing us? Perhaps parents, carers, teachers,
priests, grandparents or friends. Which people can we nourish
in this coming week and how can we nourish them? Perhaps
we can: encourage someone, give hugs to parents or carers,
give something to a food bank, help and offer hope to others.
For this week’s prayer, why not ask your child if they can
remember the grace they say at school before their meals?

When the disciples wanted Jesus to send the people away to find
food, Jesus would not do it. He kept the people with him and he
fed them himself. Jesus never sends anyone away, but nourishes
us as we stay close to him and listen to his words.
