From Father Mark Mertes, Pastor:
All you who are thirsty, come to the water!
You who have no money, come, receive grain and eat. (Isaiah 55.1)
God is always ready to feed and nour-ish us. When Jesus announces, “The Kingdom of heaven has drawn near!” he is proclaiming that God is ready to provide all the resources we need to live well in God. And I mean in ALL circumstances. Isaiah is telling the Israelites who have no home, no food, no place to worship, no hope—he tells them, come to the water and be refreshed. In this Sunday’s gospel Jesus feeds a large crowd with a few loaves and fish because even what seems to be meager resources turns out to be plen-ty in the hands of Jesus. St. Paul exhorts us to place ourselves in Jesus’ hands in ALL situations as he announces that nothing, not peril or persecution or famine or corona-virus or unemployment or illness, nothing can separate us from the love of God that comes to us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
So let us be on the watch to see how Jesus is feeding us and nourishing us and providing for our needs.

We may be surprised as Jesus comes to us: In situations of illness where we
see a new grace from God that helps us understand.
As we approach a new school year and adjust and adapt and wait for further instructions.
As our young people receive their First Communions and Confirma-tions in Masses that are different than “normal” and at the same time even more powerful in the Holy Spirit.
As we look at an empty bank ac-count and the Lord gives us new creativity about how to save and consolidate our expenses.
Come, all who have no money, come and experience God walking with us
and providing all that we need!
Desde Padre Mark Mertes:
¡Todos ustedes que tienen sed, vengan al agua!
Tú que no tienes dinero, ven, recibe grano y come. (Isaías 55.1)
Dios siempre está listo para alimen-tarnos y nutrirnos. Cuando Jesús anuncia: "¡El Reino de los cielos se ha acercado!" él está proclamando que Dios está listo para proporcionar todos los recursos que necesitamos para vivir bien en Dios. Y quiero de-cir en TODAS las circunstancias. Isaías les está diciendo a los israelitas que no tienen hogar, ni comida, ni lu-gar para adorar, ni esperanza —les dice vengan al agua y refrésquense. En el evangelio de este domingo, Je-sús alimenta a una gran multitud con unos cuantos panes y peces porque incluso lo que parecen ser escasos re-cursos resulta ser abundante en las manos de Jesús. San Pablo nos ex-horta a ponernos en las manos de Je-sús en TODAS las situaciones, ya que anuncia que nada, ni peligro ni persecución, hambre o coronavirus, desempleo o enfermedad, nada pue-de separarnos del amor de Dios que nos viene en Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor. Así que estemos atentos para ver có-mo Jesús nos está alimentando, nu-triendo y atendiendo nuestras necesi-dades.

Podemos sorprendernos cuando Jesús viene a nosotros: En situaciones de enfermedad
donde vemos una nueva gracia de Dios que nos ayuda a entender.
A medida que nos acercamos a un nuevo año escolar y nos ajustamos y adaptamos y esperamos más ins-trucciones.
A medida que nuestros jóvenes re-ciben sus Primeras Comuniones y Confirmaciones en misas que son diferentes de lo "normal" y al mis-mo tiempo aún más poderosas en el Espíritu Santo.
Cuando miramos una cuenta ban-caria vacía y el Señor nos da una nueva creatividad sobre cómo aho-rrar y consolidar nuestros gastos.
¡Vengan todos los que no tienen dine-ro, vengan y experimenten a Dios ca-minando con nosotros y proporcio-nando todo lo que necesitamos!
