By Fr. Nnamdi Moneme, OMV, Catholic Exchange - We learn two important things about Jesus from the episode of the multiplication of the loaves... First, we see the kindness and generosity of Jesus towards the needs of the crowds. He is not overwhelmed by their number and their needs. He also does not wait for them to beg Him, but He takes the initiative to feed them, “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat? He said this to test him because He Himself knew what He was going to do.”
