Sunday Sermon

Multiplication of the Loaves

By Bishop Robert Barron

Dear Diary,
 
Today was a special Sunday, filled with warmth, reflection, and a touch of excitement. Mass was as beautiful as always. Father's friend David, who is a pilot, flew his small plane all the way from Sioux County and landed in the pasture next to the church. He brought his guitar and led the singing, adding a lovely touch to the service. 

Father LeRoy’s homily was particularly moving. He spoke about the Eucharist, highlighting that for the next five weeks, our Gospel readings will focus on the sixth chapter of John. He began with the story of the multiplication of the loaves, describing it as an iconic presentation of the Mass. His words painted vivid pictures in my mind, making the familiar story feel new and profound.

As the day turned to evening I prayed this prayer.

Heavenly Father, thank You for this day and the beautiful moments it brought. Thank You for the gift of the Eucharist and the lessons we learn through Your Word. Bless Father LeRoy for his guidance and wisdom. Watch over David and give him a safe flight home. Please protect Sister Mary Claire, Mini, Omelette and all our loved ones. Amen.

At bedtime I listened to Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon. His soothing voice and insightful words were the perfect end to a blessed Sunday. 

Goodnight, dear diary.
