Ordinary 17
The multiplication of the loaves foreshadows the Eucharistic miracle that Jesus gave us in the Mass. In the two multiplication of loaves miracles and in the changing of water into wine at Cana, Jesus provides more than is necessary. This is an important point about the graces of the Eucharist.
Throughout history there have been dramatic Eucharistic miracles that remind us of the great Eucharistic miracle: The Real Presence of Jesus, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Hosts have turned to visible flesh, have bled, have turned hard as flint when received by a person in mortal sin.
If we heard that Jesus was appearing somewhere in Ohio, uncounted numbers of people would go out of their way to go there. Jesus is appearing at every Mass. Jesus is present in the tabernacle in the Blessed Sacrament. The consecrated host is not a holy thing, a relic but rather it is the Body and Blood of Jesus.
