18th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR A


EAT ALL YOU CAN

One day, when I was still in Davao City, I happen to ate at a restaurant with “eat all you can” banquet. When I enter the eatery, I followed what other customers are doing, since it was my first time. I realized that in this kind of banquet self service is being observed. You will be the one to get your food. You can get everything, viand, rice, desserts and drinks, as long as you can consume it. It was a very nice system since; you will really feel that you are at home.

Greetings!

My dear friends, the grace of God are like “eat you can” banquet. The grace of God is just around us just “eat all you can”. In our Gospel today Jesus feed 5000 men not including women and children meaning to say there are more than 5000 people. It does not only say like that since, there are 12 baskets left in the banquet. The remaining 12 baskets convey that there are lots of foods available.

In life, we received loads of graces. The basic example for this is our life, the air we breathe every day, the food we take daily, the friends who care for us, our families, and our neighbors are God’s given graces. These all graces are just like “eat all you can” banquet, unlimited and without any expense. Remember that these unlimited graces do not only feed our stomach but also to our soul.

Since, we have received these graces in our life without any expense; it is also fitting for us to give thanks to the giver.

One way of giving thanks to the giver is to share these graces to other people. Share what you have received. Invite and let other people know that you have been enjoying the “eat all you can” graces of God.

But sometimes in our life, we feel that we have been forsaken. It seems that there are empty spaces that need to fill up. There are difficulties that need to settle. If you will feel this way just approach God and ask Him to “eat all you can” to his graces. I am pretty sure that he will always give what you need. Our gospel reminds us today that God provides everything we need.

Friendly reminder: graces are just everywhere, just “eat all you can”.
