Fukushima and miracle of the five loaves and two fish.

Image via WikipediaOver the week-end, attended the Novena at St Francis Xavier and heard an interesting sharing.

The brother who preach the homily interestingly linked the recent Japan tragedy with the miracle of the five loaves and two fish. In that story, Jesus's disciples suggested sending the people away (because they do not have enough to feed the thousands) while Jesus told them to feed them themselves. With five loaves and two fishes, Jesus fed the everybody with baskets of balance.

So how does miracle of the five loaves and two fish and the Japan tragedy relates to us? As a child of God, living our lives with love is a must. We cannot turn a blind eye to others who are in need of our help. The Japanese are now in need of our help, friendship and act of love.

Though we are all facing our own challenges and limited resources, but whatever we have, we should contribute and play our part. So, it is up to us now to put forth our "five loaves and two fish" and together, we can create a miracle and help the affected Japanese pull through this dark hour.

Japan Gambatte !
