Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Matthew 14: 13-21

Ps 41: 1

From the Sermon:

There are ______ scriptures between the Old and New Testaments about the poor.

Jesus looked at the crowds and he had _________ for them.

The disciples should ______ them.

Sometimes we don’t ______ what folks need.

Jesus is still reaching out to the world through ____.

Reflection:

As people of faith how can we live our lives so we are attuned to other people’s needs and suffering?

How is the feeding of the 5,000 a stewardship lesson for us?

Do we know people’s stories and struggles enough to reach out to end an ear in a time of need?

How do we reach the world individually? How do we reach the world through the Church?

Prayer:

Lord, for the times we have seen a need and have not given, forgive us, we pray. For the times we have looked at others with eyes of judgment instead of eyes of compassion, forgive us, we pray. For times we have thought that we do not have enough, forgive us, we pray. Help us to trust in your abundance! Amen.
