Over the next 5 weeks we are invited by the Church, through the Liturgy of the Word, to meditate on the Eucharist. Jesus is the One who provides, but by asking Philip the question, “where can we buy enough food”, isn’t He teaching the Apostles, and by extension each of us, to serve the community in accordance with our state in life? Paul seems to echo this directive calling the Christian community to live in humility, gentleness, patience, love and in unity of spirit. Where do we learn this? From the One who humbled Himself and washed the feet of His followers. Let us always be willing to follow His example.
