Five loaves and two fish cannot feed a crowd of five thousand men. It is impossible.  And yet, when the Apostles hand over their paltry resources to the Lord, they become more than enough to do the job. The same goes for every Christian. The mission we have received, the mission of being bright torches in this dark world, torches that guide searching souls towards the hope of heaven - this mission is beyond our natural capacities. We only have five loaves and two fish; by ourselves we can do nothing. Only if we put all we have and all we are into Christ's hands, confiding in him and not ourselves, can we hope to fulfill our life mission and make a real difference for the good of the Kingdom - in our hearts and in society at large. What we could never achieve on our own, we can immeasurably surpass with God.
