2 From the Desk of..lorella Chavez Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 29, 2018 What do you most appreciate in your life? How hard did you work for those items or qualities? Do you deserve those items or qualities? Is it a gift or a right? We Americans seem to work harder to gain the good things in life. Yet, if we were asked what we cherish the most, we would point to those things that cannot be earned. Ultimately, the question of it falls to our inner character. Are we self-giving or self centered? Jesus presented such a choice to crowds he fed with bread and fish. He gave them a sign. But was it a sign of faith or a sign of birthright? After returning to the area, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee followed by a large crowd because they saw the ways he healed the sick. Then the test question to Phillip of how they were going to buy food for all the people was asked by Jesus. Jesus knew all along what he was going to do next. A small boy with five barley rolls and two dried fish in a basket was brought to Jesus. How can this food feed all these people? It did with Jesus blessing and there was plenty left over. Seeing what Jesus just did, the men in the crowd began to say, "This is the prophet God promised us!" Does the witness believe in Jesus? Sometimes we confuse God's blessing with faith: we assume abundance is the sign of God's favor. This sets up a vicious cycle of greed. The little we have is not enough; we want more. And we rationalize this greed in the name of God. Expecting an experience like their ancestors of the Exodus, the people followed Jesus. And Jesus did not disappoint them. The multiplication of the loaves reminded the people of an image for God's kingdom, the never-ending feast. Even though the food was common, the shear amount spoke of abundance that was lacking among the poor Galileans. Seeing the sign, the men assumed Jesus was a prophet who would announce God's Kingdom. The men in the story were ready to declare Jesus their Messiah and with that they expected more. The people fell to the temptation of greed; after they experienced God's blessing, they wanted more. In the people's eyes, what Jesus did was sufficient to make him the prophet-king of a country freed from Rome's dominance. The multiplication pointed to the Eucharist. From one body, God fed many and abundance remained. One small piece of bread was broken and the result was eternal life. From the flesh of one man, the world was fed. How can we truly appreciate God's gifts to us? And, how do we resist the temptation to demand more from God and turn faith into an exercise of selfish greed?
