Let us try to be organized, orderly, honest and careful. This should be our way of being stewards!

A basket with bread and fish


In the Gospel of Mark there is this miraculous story of the feeding of the multitudes with only one basket of bread and fish. In the end, there is abundance.

I admire Jesus’ leadership in this situation: he made people sit in smaller groups and in this way created order; the apostles were able to take up the practical organization and distribution of food. Everybody received according to his needs. What does it mean for us? Let us try to be organized, orderly, honest and careful. This should be our way of being stewards!
