Commenting on today's Liturgy of the Word, Pelanowski OSPPE Augustine writes:
" Jesus broke the loaves, gave thanks. Torn bread is a picture of a broken life. Can I thank you for the broken lives? Thanking you, turns all that painful, in the miraculous.
always move me, when I read how Jesus tells disciples to gather fragments. At one time I thought that this is a picture of the Church, because there were twelve baskets of fragments, a number that represents how many were the apostles. Mysteriously read the words that nothing would be lost. They seem to be addressed to an entirely different reality than cluttering up the grass residue after eating bread. Why such concern about leftovers? Transferred the fragments after the image of bread seem to be rejected and unwanted people to anyone, however, find their place in the communities of the Church, symbolically illustrated in these baskets. "
I like this interpretation. Broken bread, the image of a broken life ... crises, tragedies, injuries. And what do I do? Do not break down, but good use, thank you for the hard stuff and share with others, and because it helps us and others. Indeed when everything turns into a painful, wonderful!
