Join us as we reflect, ponder, and pray together inspired by today's Gospel. Today's Gospel: John 6:1-15Who doesn’t know the story of the loaves and fishes? John’s Gospel doesn’t embellish or dramatize the details of the story. In fact, I often think it downplays the magnitude of the miracle, that a humble lunch of several fish and barley loaves could somehow feed a crowd of thousands and be so plentiful as to leave a dozen baskets of leftover food.

Tangerine, soul, gossip, smoke. It’s an odd foursome of words, but Nich Graham has invited me to bring prompts to our coffee-shop interview to spark the free verse that he pounds out on his old-school mechanical keyboard.

Maria Morera Johnson shares how a favorite statue of the Blessed Mother, broken by a toddler's love, taught her a deeper lesson of the Father's love. A small statue of Our Lady of Grace used to sit on the corner of my desk next to a plastic bottle of holy water and a Hello Kitty Pez dispenser. I blessed myself with holy water every time I sat down to write, and often ate a sweet candy as a little treat when I finished. Through it all, the Blessed Mother stood watch.
