Mark 8:1-10:
There is no doubt that Mark wants his community to know that the Eucharist is at the heart of the Christian life. Twice he tells of the compassionate Jesus feeding the hungry crowds. His disciples, though not as enthusiastic as their Master, follow Jesus’ orders and the crowds are fed, physically and spiritually.
Loving God, I praise you for it is by your Word and Sacrament that I live with and in you and you in me.
