6/6/21 God Gathers the Fragments
/
Homily for the Feast of Corpus Christi.
In the story of The Feeding of the Five Thousand, as told in Matthew 14:20, it is written that “They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over, twelve baskets full.” Why is that important? Because we are the fragments. Haven’t you ever felt like a fragment? When you know you are loved by the Creator of the whole universe, who is going to take that away from you? Just as Christ washed the feet of the disciple’s, would you get down on your hands and knees and show everybody how important they are? Christ wants to raise everybody to their full dignity.
Gospel: Mark 14:12-16, 22-26
