Gospel, Saint, prayer of April 13th

Da Paolo Tessione - April 13, 2018

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to John 6,1: 15-XNUMX.
At that time, Jesus went to the other shore of the sea of Galilee, that is, of Tiberiade,
and a large crowd followed him, seeing the signs he made on the sick.
Jesus went up the mountain and sat there with his disciples.
Easter, the feast of the Jews, was near.
Then looking up, Jesus saw that a large crowd was coming to him and said to Philip: "Where can we buy bread for them to have food?".
He said so to test him; for he knew well what he was about to do.
Philip replied, "Two hundred denarii of bread is not enough even for everyone to receive a piece."
Then one of the disciples, Andrew, brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
'There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what is this for so many people? ».
Jesus replied: "Make them sit." There was a lot of grass in that place. So they sat down and there were about five thousand men.
Then Jesus took the loaves and, after giving thanks, distributed them to those who had sat down, and he did the same for the fish, until they wanted.
And when they were satisfied, he said to the disciples: "Collect the leftover pieces, so that nothing is lost."
They collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over from those who had eaten.
Then the people, seeing the sign that he had made, began to say: "This is truly the prophet who must come into the world!".
But knowing that they were about to come and get him to make him king, he retired again to the mountain, all alone.
