Gospel Reflection: John 6: 1-15

Here’s a reflection on John 6:1-15.  It was written by Katherine Hawker.

Gospel Reflection
(inspired by John 6:1-15)

A young boy's lunch,
Two loaves and a few fish,
Fed the multitude;
Five thousand and more.
Each eating their fill,
Each knowing enugh;
With baskets to share,
Plenty for all.
Insufficiency shared
Is broken and blessed
And scarcity is redeemed,
Now and forever.
