GOSPEL Lk 9:11b–17, Corpus Christi-061922
God Provides
In our Gospel from Luke, we learned about the familiar multiplication of the loaves and fishes that fed over five thousand. Before this particular story begins, we read about how the twelve disciples where sent out by Jesus to preach in the surrounding villages. Jesus tells them “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics.” Our Jesus is asking them to rely on their faith in him, to walk empty handed into the mystery of the new ministry without him their teacher-who has been doing this all along. They have just returned to Jesus…they are tired and worn. They have successfully completed what Jesus has asked them to do-and have learned-God provides.
Jesus invites them to leave the city…maybe for some quiet, rest and relaxation, but a massive crowd follows them into a deserted place. The disciples must be thinking how inconvenient. Rather then decompressing with his disciples and out of necessity, Jesus spends his day ministering to the crowd and preaching about the kingdom of God. What must be going through the disciples minds?
As the day turns into evening, the disciples tell Jesus to send the crowd away because it is late and they and the crowds are tired and hungry.
Jesus responds to his the disciples “Give them some food yourselves.” They reply, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have, unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people.” It appears that they are whining! (The logistics of this moment, calls to my mind what I know we go through feeding and entertaining 150 plus bingo players every other week.)
Jesus gives them not just a teaching moment but a transformative reality. God provides! Jesus maybe satisfying the physical and spiritual hunger of the larger crowds, but more importantly HE is revealing to his disciples a deeper truth…how to do it. What he is asking of his inner circle is to trust God, even when it feels absurd and impossible.
In being a witness to this miracle, their faith in Jesus increased. In the future, they will link this important event with the last supper where the Eucharist is instituted. In the Gospel of John-chapter 6, we read Jesus saying “He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him.”
Today, we have many who critique us and our belief in the Eucharist being the actual body and blood of Christ. Whether it be the culture that surrounds us, other Christian denominations or direct family members, we are still here every Sunday to receive the Eucharist. It is not just a symbol as they would like us to believe. Jesus is the bread of life that comes from heaven. He feeds us with this bread. If this bread is not the source and center of all that we do in ministry, we are missing the spiritual food that is necessary to sustain us. It is out of this sacred meal, that Jesus feeds us and strengthen us to do HIS will. The Eucharist binds and unifies us as the Body of Christ.
We are also disciples, in modern terms, it means we accept Jesus as our leader, and we assist HIM in spreading the Good News. Being a disciple of Jesus means the ministry and work is never done. The world needs what we the body of Christ offers. Even when we have doubts and discouragement, we must never forget, God provides.
Jesus is always teaching and forming us-especially in our liturgical worship.
We participate fully in this work when we offer up our hearts, which includes our hopes, joys, pains and sorrow. The 12 disciples, with all their conflicted feelings, leaned into this teaching moment, and participated fully in it. “He must increase and I must decrease.” Not my will, but your will be done!
We are transformed when we receive the Christ in the Mass. We become what we eat. The work of Jesus Christ gets multiplied in us as we carry him out into a spiritually starving world. The crowds that surrounds us are depending on us…just remember God provides.
Tabgha (Arabic: الطابغة, al-Tabigha; Hebrew: עין שבע, Ein Sheva which means "spring of seven") is an area situated on the north-western shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. It is traditionally accepted as the place of the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes (Mark 6:30–46) and the fourth resurrection appearance of Jesus (John 21:1–24) after his Crucifixion. Between the Late Muslim period and 1948, it was the site of a Palestinian Arab village. source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabgha
This is an olive tree in the patio of the Church of Multiplication, in Tabgha, on the shore of Sea of Galilee, Israel. Probably, the olive tree is the most beautiful tree in the world.

The Bread and Fish Church.The Church of Multiplication. This church marks that area where Jesus fed 5,000 people with only a handful of fish and bread loaves.
A new study done at the Saint Louis University scientists showed that bitter melon extract triggers a chain of events on a cellular level which inhibit the multiplication of breast cancer cells and destroys them at the same time.
The lead researcher stated that “bitter melon extract modulates several signal transduction pathways, which induces breast cancer cell death. This extract can be utilized as a dietary supplement for the prevention of breast cancer.”
This beneficial fruit may be consumed raw, added to your favorite smoothies, or drank as a drink. You can also take the bitter melon extract, which can be purchased as a herbal supplement in healthy food stores.
My little one started learning multiplication last week at school. I like her (also all the children) learning Maths with FUN, living with Nature.
Arghhh. I'm not sure if I like this or not, but i was looking through my 365s (vain, i know) and i realized it's of my face/ full body. I've seen other people's 365s and they have photos of just their hands, legs etc. so i decided to try it myself.
Comments and suggestions welcome :)
Alright, unknown thing about me #6:
I am Russian. Many people don't think that I'm Russian but I am! I can speak the language quite fluently as well.
Alright, enjoy the photo

My daughter didn't believe it is the same me in the picture. After explaining that I can also make 2 or 3 of her to appear in photograph, she replied: "You'd better make 100 of me".

A walk along the Chesterfield Canal yielded this image, not what I was expecting from the trip. What caught my eye was the way the shadow multiplies the dead seed heads in a disproportionate way, there being more vegetation to the left off screen.

"Multiplication is the name of the game
and each generation plays it the same"
Bobby Darin - Multiplication (1961)
know that this world's life is only sport and play and gaiety and boasting among yourselves, and a vying in the multiplication of wealth and children, like the rain, whose causing the vegetation to grow, pleases the husbandmen, then it withers away so that you will see it become yellow, then it becomes dried up and broken down; and in the hereafter is a severe chastisement and (also) forgiveness from allah and (his) pleasure; and this world's life is naught but means of deception (20)
Chapter 57: AL-HADID (THE IRON)
سوره حدید ،آیه 20
بدانيد كه زندگى دنيا در حقيقت بازى و سرگرمى و آرايش و فخرفروشى شما به يكديگر و فزونجويى در اموال و فرزندان است [مث ل آنها] چون مث ل بارانى است كه كشاورزان را رستنى آن [باران] به شگفتى اندازد سپس [آن كشت] خشك شود و آن را زرد بينى آنگاه خاشاك شود و در آخرت [دنيا پرستان را] عذابى سخت است و [مؤمنان را] از جانب خدا آمرزش و خشنودى است و زندگانى دنيا جز كالاى فريبنده نيست (20)
سوره حدید ، آیه 20
اعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَزِينَةٌ وَتَفَاخُرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَاهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَامًا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانٌ وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ ﴿20﴾
Another go at multiple exposures in a street tree next to a park. This is a 180 degree as again I couldn't get around the tree. I really wanted to capture the autumnal colours of the trees at the moment with the fallen leaves on the ground. I fear by the time I can go looking for the right tree, the autumn colours will be gone.
The title is a play on words from the Billy Bragg Song "Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key" as tonight was the second night of his concerts I would have been attending.
"I lived in a place called Okfuskee
And I had a little girl in a holler tree
I said, "little girl, it's plain to see
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me"
She said, "it's hard for me to see
How one little boy got so ugly"
Yes, my little girly, that might be
But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
There ain't nobody that can sing like me"

I think it is an old Woodie Guthrie song and at one of Billy's concerts where he sand this song, he reminded us that the boy is not talking about singing ;-)
