Wednesday of the First Week of Advent, December 4, 2024
Matthew 15:29-37
St. John Damascene, Doctor of the Church
Jesus heals many and multiplies the bread.
Today, we celebrate the Lord as he heals many people and feeds thousands of people with only seven loaves and a few fish. He heals the people in need of healing and feeds the crowd. It is a celebration and thanksgiving for the many good gifts that He gives to us each day.Â
Creator God, we come before you to give thanks for the many gifts that you bestow on us each day. We thank you for our gift of recovery and for your gift of the Eucharist, which you gave us so many years ago. We praise you, and we bless you, Lord God.
