Bible Study Leftover
At our last faith enrichment meeting we discussed the readings for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B Cycle), 2 Kings 4:42-44, Psalm 145:10-11, 15-16, 17-18, Ephesians 4:1-6, and John 6:1-15.
The psalm is not long, so we read all of it. We didn’t discuss the fact, but there are some good lines in the psalm that tie in well with the gospel story of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes:
15 Patiently all creatures look to you to feed them throughout the year; quick to satisfy every need, you feed them all with a generous hand.
19 Those who fear him need only to ask to be answered; he hears their cries for help and saves them.
And especially 21a Yahweh’s praise be ever in my mouth,
“in my mouth” – much as is His miraculous food!
