GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO EAT

As he went ashore he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late; send them away, to go into the country and villages round about and buy themselves something to eat."

But he answered them, "You give them something to eat" (Mark 6:34-37).

Reflection:
How do you respond to those who are in need? Do you send them away or give them something?
