17th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B  

The multiplication of food (First reading; Gospel) is really about the multiplication and extension of life.

The signs that God offers in the Old and New Testaments of his ability to multiply food in miraculous ways are really a message to us about his dominion over life, which is the theme echoed in the Second Reading – the “one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”

Along with the theme of God’s dominion, we see the theme of human solidarity.  The crowd that had to be fed were united with each other in their need.

Moreover, even the miraculous solution to their need was not fulfilled without the active collaboration of the boy who gave of the little he had.

The Church’s witness to the sanctity of life is rooted in these two themes – God’s dominion over life, and human solidarity.

The God who made us entrusted us to the care of one another.

No human choice can trample upon His decision that another human should live, or contradict the solemn duty we have to care for each other rather than destroy each other.

Peace and Blessings,                               Fr. Ken

XVII Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario - Ciclo B  

La multiplicación de los alimentos (Primera lectura; Evangelio) es realmente sobre la multiplicación y extensión de la vida.

Los signos que Dios ofrece en el Antiguo y Nuevo Testamento sobre su capacidad para multiplicar los alimentos en forma milagrosa es en realidad un mensaje para nosotros con relación a su poder sobre la vida, que es el tema que se repite en la segunda lectura - el "único Dios y Padre de todos, quien está sobre todo, a través de todo y en todo."

Junto al tema del poder de Dios, vemos el de la solidaridad humana. La multitud que tuvo que ser alimentada estaba unida en su necesidad.

Por otra parte, la solución milagrosa a sus necesidades no se llevó a cabo sin la colaboración activa del niño que dio lo poco que tenía.

El testimonio de la Iglesia sobre la santidad de la vida se basa en estos dos temas: el poder de Dios sobre la vida y la solidaridad humana.

El Dios que nos creó, nos confió el cuidado de los unos para con los otros.

Ninguna opción humana puede pasar por encima de su decisión de que un ser humano debe vivir, o contradecir el solemne deber que tenemos de cuidarnos unos a otros en lugar de destruirnos unos a otros.

Paz y Bendiciones,                                  Padre Ken
