Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church issued the following announcement on Aug. 2

A crowd gathers to hear Jesus, “about five thousand men, not counting women and children” (Matthew 14:21). Jesus’ feeding of such a large gathering with only five small loaves and two fish is a true miracle. It is not a magic trick to impress or fool us. Jesus is using signs and symbols to get our attention. Signs and symbols play a vital role in all human culture, but they vary in meaning from place to place: a handshake, a bow, an embrace, or a hug can have many meanings. Jesus’ feeding the crowd is a sign of his power and a symbol of the Eucharist we now share. But remember the phrase “not counting women and children.” Who does “not count” among the crowd in the community of faith? How can we feed the hidden ones who are starving—for attention, a kind word, a helping hand? What can we do to make a difference?
