17th Sunday Ordinary Time Year B
"Bless the Lord, O my Soul, and never forget all his benefits"
Reflections by Father Paul Beukes OMI
To be compassionate is to be like Christ. To be generous is to co-operate with Christ in his ministry. Christ sought the co-operation of his disciples and community, and the little boy in the Gospel of John 6: 1-15 co-operated with what he had. He exhibited a fraternal spirit and so, changed the destiny of his community.
A generous and compassionate attitude towards others can enrich the life of many, as well as our own life. Keep in mind that when compassion and generosity embrace, great miracles happen for a community united by one faith, one spirit and one baptism.
