Matthew 15:35

"Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”"

Key Reflection

This exchange foreshadows the miraculous feeding of the five thousand, highlighting Jesus' ability to provide for His followers' needs, both physical and spiritual. The seven loaves and a few small fish symbolize how even meager resources can become abundant in God's hands, teaching the disciples—and us—that with faith we can trust Him to meet our greatest needs.
