Jesus Provides for Us & Mardi Gras! - Daily Gospel Reflection

The Gospel reading from Catholic Mass today is Mark 8: 14-21.

The perfect reading for Mardi Gras! The disciples have only brought one loaf of bread and are going to be hungry. Jesus, of course, provides for them.

As we get ready for lent we should be thinking about prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Thus, along with the disciples, Jesus is reminding us of the times miraculously fed so many.

In the midst of our fasting, let us remember that God is close to us and will help us to persevere by providing for us everything that we need!
