Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
We have just gone through the exercise of the election of a new Pope. The days preceding the election of the Pope were fascinating. Media houses spent a lot of newsprint and broadcast time analyzing and the predicting the kind of Pope we would get. They were filled with extensive analysis of who was suitable to become the next Pope. News anchors analyzed left and right who would suit the role. They analyzed the experience one needed to have to suit the job, the level of education they needed to have, the languages he needed to speak, his theological views he needed to espouse, what continent and color they needed to have. All the potential candidates were analyzed like you would analyze politicians running for public office. In the end, the Holy Spirit gave us Pope Leo XIV.

He adds on that My Flesh is True Food and my Blood is True Drink.

Today we reflect on the miracle of the feeding by the Lord, of the 5,000 people. Right from the opening, it should not be lost onto us of how the Lord continues to feed us through the Eucharist and through Sacred Scripture. There is hunger that He alone can satisfy. I would like to draw your attention to two important things that we can reflect on for the day...

We are still celebrating the Easter Octave. We give these special days the same weight or attention that we give Easter Day itself. We spend much time during these days reflecting on what happened in the immediate days following the resurrection of Our Lord.
