Be a blessing for others

We remember today St Athanasius, “the Father of othodoxy” as he worked so hard to counter heresies in the early Church. As a young deacon, at the Council of Nicaea, Athanasius helped set down the true teaching of the Church that Jesus Christ is true God and true man. The multiplication of loaves in today’s gospel, for St. Athanasius clearly foreshadows the Eucharist, i.e., the Holy Communion. Through the eucharist, Jesus offers eternal life and becomes himself the "true bread from heaven", that satisfies the hunger of the human heart. May we like Jesus become the bread for the life of others. Like the young boy in the gospel, we are invited to conquer the sin of greed and become a blessing for others.

Jesus, I trust in you!
