Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wonderful works.

They made a calf in Horeb and worshipped a molten image.

They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.

They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, wondrous works in the land of Ham.

and awesome things by the Red Sea.

In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.

And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way.

And some of them have come a long way.

And his disciples answered him, How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?

And he asked them, How many loaves have you?

They said, Seven.

And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people.

And they set them before the crowd, and they had a few small fish.

And having blessed them, he commanded that they also should be set before them.

And they ate and were satisfied.

And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full, and there were about four thousand people.

And he sent them away.

And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

Nourished by God's Word, what is one specific way that you can go forth and make your life a gift for others?

Pray without ceasing.
