Hi Jannet and JY brothers and sisters,
I haven't read any Bible commentary but the
following thoughts come to my mind. The feeding of the
poor points to the heavenly banquet for the the poor
in spirit (the sinners as we are) in which everyone
will be completely satisfied. "Blessed are the poor in
spirit, the kingdom of God is theirs". The food in the
heavenly banquet is the Holy Trinity itself which we
consume now as "the Living Bread that comes down from
heaven"-Holy Eucharist. God is infinite -much beyond
what we can think of. St. Paul says "Eye has not seen,
ear has not heard what God has prepared for those who
love Him". Even after completely satisfying everyone
He is still able to give more! I think that is what
the remaining baskets of food signify. I don't know
why it is 12 baskets. Does anyone know whether the
number 12 has any special significance in the Bible?
Please offer 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary now for an
exam I am having on wednesday. I have a lot to cover
and I really depend on your prayers.
Thanks a lot,
Sony
