We Only Have 5 Loaves & 2 Fish: What is Your "Only"?

About this sermon

Christ is among us! In this homily, Father reflects on a powerful moment from his time serving at St. Elizabeth Parish in Windsor—a time when the church was opened during the week for prayer, conversation, and community. Many parishioners came not only to pray but to share ideas for parish life, fundraisers, and events. Father explains how today’s Gospel mirrors these encounters. Just as the disciples told Jesus to dismiss the crowd, we often say, “Lord, send them away.” But Jesus responds, “You give them something to eat.” He calls His followers—not only priests, but all of us—to take part in building the Kingdom of God. This message challenges us to look at our own “only”: “I only have five loaves and two fish…” “I only have this talent…” “I only have this amount of time…” Yet when we bring our only to the Lord, He multiplies it beyond anything we could imagine. In this homily, Father invites each of us to consider: What is your only, and how can you offer it to help make the Kingdom of God present here and now? 00:00 – Christ is among us 00:30 – Opening: A memory from Windsor and St. Elizabeth Parish 01:01 – Keeping the church open for prayer and conversation 01:38 – Parishioners sharing ideas and the response: “How can we help you make it real?” 02:03 – Some saying: “Father, that’s your job!” 02:30 – Connection to today’s Gospel 02:36 – The disciples want Jesus to dismiss the crowd 02:55 – Jesus says: “You give them something to eat.” 03:13 – The call to participate in Christ’s ministry 03:30 – Parish life requires all of us—not just the priest 03:49 – The obstacle: “We only have five loaves and two fish.” 04:01 – Personal examples of being called beyond comfort 04:33 – Bringing our “only” to God 04:47 – The miracle of multiplication 05:02 – What is your only? 05:17 – The parish is all of us—Christ needs all of us 05:31 – Offering time, talent, treasure to God 05:45 – Closing: Christ is among us For more please visit https://www.youtube.com/@steliasbrampton & say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #CatholicHomily #GospelReflection #ChristianSermon #FeedingOfThe5000 #FiveLoavesTwoFish #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #ChristianLife #Discipleship #Homily #KingdomOfGod #ServeOthers #FaithInAction #ChristIsAmongUs 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
