Jesus performed two miracles. Firstly, he brought healing to the sick, and secondly, he fed the crowd with a meal of five loaves and two fish and there were left over, implying that there is enough food in the world to feed the world population if food distribution is managed well.

The current pandemic is a wake-up call to rediscover what we treasure. (We miss being able to join in with the celebration of the Eucharist.) Jesus by his life and death gave witness on what is important. Through Jesus we come to know and understand what the most important things in life are. If the message of Jesus is our treasure, then how do we give witness to this to-day?

The Gospel brought to our attention that there is goodness and evil in the world, and that evil is in constant opposition to the good. Evil may have apparent success, but ultimately, goodness will triumph over evil.
