Inspiration for the Week

God shows up in unexpected ways!  Just when we think we have God's agenda figured out, another surprise comes.  Expecting to find God only in some places hinders us from finding Him everywhere.  Who would have thought that  young boy's few loaves and fishes would feed thousands of people?  The disciples were probably just as amazed as everyone else when this feast appeared before them.  Sometimes, we find it difficult to believe that God can do amazing things with something small and simple.  Yet, grasping this truth is really at the heart of understanding the power of the Eucharist.  Having the Body and Blood of Christ made present for us is one amazing wonder.  Actually being fed and noursihed by that gift is another.  Now being able to become what we have eaten, God can do tremendous things with the simple, humble gifts of our lives.  All we have to do is realize that God dwells within us.  When we do, then everyone we encounter and everything we do has the power to become a sacramental moment.  When done with great love even the smallest gesture can be multiplied exponentially.  Now, that's amazing!
