Greetings on this the Memorial of Saint Francis Xavier, Priest
Readings: Isaiah 25:6-10a; Psalm 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6; Matthew 15:29-37
Summary
Jesus said, “My heart is moved (Mt 15:32).”
The people glorified God when they saw:
1) the mute speaking.
2) the deformed made whole.
3) the lame walking.
4) the blind able to see.
5) They have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, for fear they may collapse on the way. And he fed them.
Reflection
In our gospel portion today we receive two stories about Jesus:
1) The Healing of Many People.
1) The Feeding of the Four Thousand.
Because that what you do when your heart is moved.
Personal Reflection
Our question to consider… is my heart moving toward acting like Jesus or is my heart already moved to be like Jesus?
