Tuesday after Epiphany
First Reading
1 John 4:7–10
Love comes from God. To love is to share in God’s own life, revealed most clearly in the gift of his Son.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 71(72):1–4, 7–8
Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.
A vision of a kingdom shaped by justice, peace, and care for those in need.
Gospel
Mark 6:34–44
Jesus sees the crowd as sheep without a shepherd. Moved with compassion, he teaches them and feeds them, turning what seems insufficient into more than enough.
Reflection
Today’s readings draw our attention to love in action.
St John reminds us that love is not something we manufacture — it flows from God. In the Gospel, Jesus does not dismiss the crowd because resources are limited. He stays, he teaches, and he feeds them.
The miracle begins not with abundance, but with compassion. Love notices, remains present, and offers what it can. In God’s hands, even the smallest offering becomes sufficient.
A moment of pause
Where might you be called to respond with love today, even when what you have feels small?
