4 Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 26, 2015 The eyes of all look hopefully to you, and you give them their food in due season. Psalm 145:15 TODAY S READINGS First Reading Elisha feeds a hundred people with twenty barley loaves (2 Kings 4:42-44). Psalm The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs (Psalm 145). Second Reading Paul urges the Ephesians to live in a manner worthy of the call they received (Ephesians 4:1-6). Gospel Jesus feeds a large crowd with five barley loaves and two fish (John 6:1-15). FEEDING THE WORLD With today s two accounts of feeding miracles and the psalm response about the Lord s hand feeding us, it is easy to gloss over the marvelous hymn in Ephesians. It is built around the most potent biblical numbers: one, three, and seven. The core of it is the word one expressed seven times. Three of these describe the church: one body, one Spirit, one hope; the next three are the foundations of the church: one Lord [Jesus], one faith, one baptism. All of these are bound up together in the one Father of all. While we might feel daunted by the prospect of duplicating the wonders worked by Elisha and Jesus in the feeding of multitudes, Ephesians gives us a more realistic way to live and feed others as the church: by living in humility and gentleness, by acting with patience, bearing with each other in love, and always seeking and striving to preserve unity through peace. Who among us cannot increase the way we feed the church and the world by living this way? We are always called upon to feed the world in the literal sense; but our mission as church tells us that others are also fed by the way we live and act each moment of each day. PRESSURE A diamond is a chunk of coal that has made good under pressure.

They need one, they are told (at great expense); it is a tradition; it is what Catholics have always done. Not so. In the last thirty years or so, the custom has enjoyed wide popularity in the United States. It has never been officially part of our liturgy, and it exists in tension with some of our core symbols. Usually there are two smaller candles and one larger one to be lit from the smaller. Large candles in our tradition always mean Christ, and smaller ones are always tokens of our baptismal candle. If the candles are meant for a kind of renewal of baptismal vows, then the meaning is clearer, yet this is seldom the understanding. Why, then, are those smaller candles extinguished? It s hard to tell where these pesky candles came from. Some suggest that the Presbyterian Church, which has a very lean wedding liturgy, introduced them as an option for extending a short service. Generally, it s been experienced as a photo opportunity rather than a genuine liturgical ritual. The unity candle, a recent invention rather than an authentic tradition, has not been approved as an adaptation to our rite, and it is to be hoped that it will gradually disappear from view. WORKING AND SAVING Work hard and save your money so when you re old you will be able to buy the things only the young can enjoy.

Prayer for Families O God, in the beginning you brought together man and woman in holy marriage that they might share your work of creation and bring enriching life to one another. We commend to your constant care the homes where your people dwell. Knit together in growing affection those who have been made one flesh and may their love never fail. Turn the hearts of parents to their children and children to their parents. Take away the roots of bitterness, vanity, and selfseeking that bring dissension where family peace should reign. Inspire them rather, with loyalty, faith, and sacrifice, that in the changes and chances of life they may stand strongly together in mutual service and love. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who grew within the family of Nazareth, who loved the Church as his beloved spouse, and gave himself up for her.
