Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome
GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES
They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over — twelve wicker baskets full. – Matthew 14:20
I
was at a fastfood restaurant to eat breakfast. I was already in line
when I realized that I didn’t have enough money even for the cheapest
value meal. I was about to step out to look for a nearby ATM when it
suddenly started raining.
The continuous downpour forced me to stay inside. I just had enough to
buy a cup of coffee so I sat down and waited for the rain to stop. A
woman approached me and asked if I could be interviewed for a survey.
Little did I know that I was about to be blessed that morning.
The woman said they were doing a survey on a new product for the
restaurant. She gave me a free sandwich to taste. I was only on my
second bite when she gave me another sandwich to try. She told me to
compare them. After I gave my comments, she gave me another surprise.
She handed me a small token for my participation in the survey.
Similarly, God showed His generosity when He performed the
multiplication of bread. After the miracle, they still had 12 full
baskets of bread. God was generous in the past and continues to be so up
to now. I could only afford a cup of coffee that morning but I ended up
with two free sandwiches plus a gift from a stranger! Alvin Fabella (alvinfabella@yahoo.com)
Reflection: How many times has God surprised you with a blessing? Recall them and say a prayer of thanks.
Lord, You are my Provider. In times of need, remind me to always call upon You.
St. Addal, pray for us.
