bread & fish: towards a life of Multiplication

July 29, 2015 - St Martha - Daily readings 

The life that Jesus wants us to have continues to challenge me. 


The idea that we can only allow God to multiply our breads and fish by realizing that we live in function of the other. 

Weed: a plant that grows where it is not supposed to grow. We need to remove it. 

Holiness: to be “separated,” to make sure that what belongs outside stays outside. 

Holiness is contagious (just as sinfulness is). The more we are with the Holy One the more we are transformed, like Moses did.  

We must make sure, however, that we remain “balanced.” It’s not just saying “Lord, Lord…” but doing the will of God. St Martha may help us to find the courage to focus on the “only one thing,” that is… to become more and more like Jesus - a man of prayer and of action. All lived in one life.
