Today's Gospel reading

Liturgical Day: December 4, Wednesdays
Gospel (Mt 15, 29-37): At that time, from there, Jesus came by the sea of Galilee, went up the mountain and sat down there. And many people came to him bringing the lame, blind, mute and many others laid them at his feet, and He healed them. So that the people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healed, the lame walking and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.

Jesus called his disciples and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. "The disciples said, "How us in a desert with enough bread to fill so great a multitude? ". Jesus said, 'How many loaves have you? '. They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."He commanded the multitude to sit on the floor. He took the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitude . They all ate and were satisfied, and picked up the pieces left seven baskets full.
