In many important ways, John’s Gospel uses the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes to teach about the Eucharist.

We who are Jesus’ disciples today have also been sent to share the Gospel with others.

Jesus continues to send us into the world as his disciples. But like the first disciples, we are not sent alone.
