He told his disciples, “Gather up the fragments left over,
so that nothing may be lost.”
―John 6.12
Jan Richardson writes: “It is part of the miracle: how Jesus, with such intention, cares for the fragments following the feast. He sees the abundance that persists, the feast that remains within the fragments. We might think the marvel of the story is that there is enough for everyone. And yet for Jesus, enough does not seem to be enough. There is more: a meal that depends on paying attention to what has been left behind, on turning toward what has been tossed aside.”
How much is enough for you?
How might you pay attention to what has been “left behind and tossed aside” today?
