"Two years of drought in the Horn of Africa has plunged 10 million people into famine. As one Somalian mother with a newborn baby said: “Since I delivered, I haven't eaten a thing. I now need food, life, water and shelter - everything that a human being needs.” In the face of such suffering and misery, Isaiah’s promise of free super-abundant food, water, milk and wine seems almost hollow, and the idea of spiritual nourishment offers little comfort to the starving. But perhaps this message of eschatological plenty is not primarily for them. It is a challenge for us who have received so much from God’s hand. It’s for countries like ours where – so research says – 25% of the food bought is wasted. Indeed, just the bread and other cereal products thrown away in this country annually would be enough to sustain 30 million people! So, today’s Gospel says that Christ “broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds”. It is not the Lord who feeds the hungry directly, but rather, he provides abundantly, and he wants us to distribute what he gives us equitably and justly. It is we, who have received from his hand, who are directly responsible for feeding the hungry."
The rest of my sermon for today can be read here.

"When Jesus received the news of John’s death he withdrew by boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves. But the people heard of this and, leaving the towns, went after him on foot. So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them and healed their sick.
When evening came, the disciples went to him and said, ‘This is a lonely place, and the time has slipped by; so send the people away, and they can go to the villages to buy themselves some food.’ Jesus replied, ‘There is no need for them to go: give them something to eat yourselves.’ But they answered ‘All we have with us is five loaves and two fish.’ ‘Bring them here to me’ he said. He gave orders that the people were to sit down on the grass; then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven and said the blessing. And breaking the loaves handed them to his disciples who gave them to the crowds. They all ate as much as they wanted, and they collected the scraps remaining; twelve baskets full. Those who ate numbered about five thousand men, to say nothing of women and children."
- Matthew 14:13-21, which is today's Gospel for the 18th Sunday of Ordinary Time.

Mark 6:30-44 (NLT)
The apostles returned to Jesus from their ministry tour and told him all they had done and what they had taught.
Then Jesus said, "Let's get away from the crowds for a while and rest." There were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have time to eat. They left by boat for a quieter spot. But many people saw them leaving, and people from many towns ran ahead along the shore and met them as they landed. A vast crowd was there as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he taught them many things.
Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, "This is a desolate place, and it is getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy themselves some food."
But Jesus said, "You feed them."
"With what?" they asked. "It would take a small fortune to buy food for all this crowd!"
"How much food do you have?" he asked. "Go and find out."
They came back and reported, "We have five loaves of bread and two fish." Then Jesus told the crowd to sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat in groups of fifty or a hundred.
Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and asked God's blessing on the food. Breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples to give to the people. They all ate as much as they wanted, and they picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread and fish. Five thousand men had eaten from those five loaves!
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Verse 35 tells us that the crowds were in a desolate place & the hour was getting late. Therefore I have made it late afternoon.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun is above the lake in the distance & behind the crowd & thus casts shadows across many of the figures in the scene.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Jesus (standing with the loaves & fish) with the boy who donated them before him. Jesus’ disciples are nearby, although you can only see 4 of them: Simon/Peter & James/Cleopas (on the left of Jesus) & Andrew & Thomas/Didymus on the right. There are various other, unnamed people from the crowd of 5,000.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Google Earth position & orientation - 32°51'56.88"N 35°38'47.96"E looking ESE, towards the Sea of Galilee. The town/city of Tiberias is directly across the Sea, 7.7 miles away (12.5 km.)
This story appears in several of the gospels: Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17. In all of these (the synoptic gospels) there appears to be no mention of a small boy who gives Jesus his food! However, I decided to run with the common interpretation that it was a boy who provided the loaves & fish. He stands before Jesus, in my cartoon.
It is not entierly certain where this scene took place. The scriptures tell us (Mark 6:7) that Jesus had sent his 12 disciples out, in pairs. Now they came back & reported to Jesus what had happened. Because of all he people coming & going, Jesus suggested that he & the 12 leave by boat for a quieter spot (Mark 6:32) - called, in other translations, a desolate place, a solitary place, a remote place. It is thought that the place was on the lake shore, near the Bethsaida Julias, a city across the Jordan River on the northeast side of the Sea of Galilee. This place is about 2.5 miles (4 km) north East of Capernaum.
I found a lovely photoraph pinned to a Google Earth position (see co-ordinates above) which is a bit further south. The photo inspired me when it came to drawing & colouring the lake & background mountain view of my cartoon.
My Bible Background Commentary points out that Mark 6:39 (NLT) “ Then Jesus told the crowd to sit down in groups on the green grass.” informs us that the time of year was spring (when the grass is green) & possibly near the time of the Passover celebration.

This is also my 5000th photo uploaded to Flickr. :)
In fact, this isn't a rock. This is the oldest sign of civilisation here where I live. Fourteen sculptured rocks were brought here fivethousand years ago.
Fifty years ago a farmer wanted to get rid of these rocks and blowed up one of them with dynamite. Not really his fault - it needed 20 more years to find out the truth behind.
So feel free to call it "Mini Stonehenge".
Very mini, of course.
