Wednesday 2 December
Isaiah 25:6-10; Psalm 23; Matthew 15:29-37
God’s lavish love
The lavishness of the banquet described by Isaiah and the multiplication of the loaves and fishes so that there were twelve basketfuls left over, teach us that God’s love for us, his desire to feed us and fill us, physically and spiritually, is so much more generous than we could ever imagine. In our world where far too many people go hungry, physically and spiritually, even in our own country, can we be God’s instruments by contributing to change? How can we give food to the hungry this Advent?
