17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?” (JOHN 6:9) The miracle of the Loaves and Fishes carries two important messages. First, no matter how little we have, we always have enough to share. Second, Christ can take our humble gifts and do great things with them if we are just willing to let Him. Nothing is impossible with God. All of our gifts, big or small, were given to us for a reason. No gift is too small or insignificant!

17o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Aquí hay un muchacho que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos pescados, pero ¿qué es esto para tanta gente?" (JUAN 6:9) El milagro de los Peces y los Panes lleva consigo dos mensajes importantes. Primero, no importa lo poco que tengamos, siempre tenemos suficiente para compartir. Segundo, Cristo puede tomar nuestros humildes dones y hacer grandes cosas con ellos si simplemente se lo permitimos. Con Dios nada es imposible. Todos nuestros dones, grandes o pequeños, nos fueron dados por una razón. ¡Ningún don es demasiado pequeño o insignificante!
