Pastor’s Reflection
29 July 2018
Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In this week’s Gospel (Jn 6:1-15), Jesus puts Philip to the test. Jesus seated up on a hill with His disciples & sees a large crowd (about 5,000 men, women & children) approaching so He turns to Philip and asks, “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?” The Gospel narrative explicitly reveals Jesus’ mysterious purpose in asking this question: “He said this to test him, because He Himself knew what He was going to do.” We may wonder; what is the nature of this “test”?
