Feeding the Hungry
The Corporal Works of Mercy are an extremely important part of our faith lives. As we saw last week, Jesus said that without participating in them, we will suffer eternal punishment. But they also come with a disclaimer. They absolutely cannot replace the Eucharist as the source and summit of our faith. This may seem bla- tantly obvious, but there are a sadly not insignificant amount of parishes around the world who have lost their way by placing the Corporal Works of Mercy above the Mystery of Faith, the Mystery of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and Transubstantiation. We cannot become like those who think because they have a soup kitchen, they are exempt from Adoration and can practice all kinds of liturgical nonsense. The Corporal Works of Mercy are great, but without a foundation in the Spiritual Works of Mercy and prayer they are in danger of becoming empty service work that might nourish some materially for an instant, but does nothing for either our or their eternal souls.
With that out of the way, let’s get to the first corporal work, feeding the hungry. Around the world, there are millions of people living in near famine conditions every day. I don’t know about you, but growing up my mom would always say, “There are starving people in Africa.” Back then I would roll my eyes, but it’s true. We who have such abundance, must think of our neighbors in other countries and continents and do our small bit to help them. The best way to do this, unless you have the time to go on a mission, is to donate to good Catholic charities.
We live in a country where it sometimes seems as if gluttony may be a bigger issue than hunger. But while some are living in overabundance, and too many even obese, there are still many who can’t get a full meal a day. This has been exacerbated by the interminable Coronavirus shut down, which has put so many out of work and led to a rise in homelessness and people living day-to-day hand-to-mouth. There are many things we can do, just to name a few: volunteering at or donat- ing to a homeless shelter, donating food and time to food pantries and soup kitchens, participating in St. Pat’s annual Christmas dinner for the poor. One other thing that could be a good idea is to get a few Ziploc or paper bags and put some nutritious and solid snacks (peanut butter, dried fruit, protein bars, etc.) with a water bottle and a paper with prayers and phone numbers for good Christian programs for the homeless. Then when driving or walking around Charlotte if you see some- one begging on the street, instead of giving them some spare change which goes to who knows what use, you could give them sustenance for body and soul.
Besides the part of the Gospel where Jesus speaks on this (Matthew 25), there are the two great feedings, where He feeds the 4000, and then feeds the 5000. When His Apostles complain that there is not enough food, He prays to the Father and supplies an overabundance of food (not just for 5000, that was the men not includ- ing the women and children, so it could have been twice that or more). A very important verse is the Bread of Life discourse in John 6. One we should all keep in mind as we feed the hungry, is that while the bread we give is perishable, and offers them only temporary sustenance, Jesus is the Bread of Life, who gives us His Body and Blood that we may never hunger or thirst again. In the Old Testament, Isaiah 58:10 and Proverbs 22:9, among others, speak of being blessed for sharing your food with the poor.
St. Mother Teresa is a saint well known for feeding the hungry. As a missionary working in the streets of Calcutta, a hub of homelessness and poverty, she spent every day working to feed the hungry. There is a story of a time she went to a butcher to ask for meat for the poor. The butcher responded by spitting in her face. St. Teresa of Calcutta simply smiled, wiped off the saliva and responded, “Thank you for what you have given for me. Will you give something for my children?” This is the way we should be when we are practicing the works, and Mother could do this because she also had a faith life where she clung to Jesus, going to Daily Mass and Adoration along with a life of constant prayer.
SAINTS IN TRAINING Formation for young children learning the Faith to become saints
Jesus feeds the hungry CORPORAL WORKS of MERCY
When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said, “This Feed the Hungry is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for them- selves.” [Jesus] said to them, “There is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves.” But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.” Then he said, “Bring them here to me,” and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.” Matthew 14
Jesus was speaking to a hungry crowd and He created a miracle. He was tired, and did not have enough food. But He saw the hun- ger in the men, women and children. He also allows His disciples the awesome opportunity to help in the miracle—He says, “then feed them.”
Jesus invites us into the same opportunity—He sees hunger in our world today. And He tells us, “then feed them.” We get the chance to do Jesus’ work on earth!
We can feed the hungry by: Give food to a homeless person Donate to a food drive/pantry Pay for the person behind you in the drive-through Bring groceries or meals to someone who is sick/recovering In this series, color and cut out each picture to create Set the table, do dishes, or help cook dinner for your family your Works of Mercy prayer book.
SAINTS OF THE WEEK Sunday, October 4: St. Peter of Damascus—Bishop and Martyr St. Peter was born in Damascus, Syria in either the late seventh or early eighth century. He served as Bishop of Damascus. After Muslims conquered the region, Peter boldly spoke out against the errors of that religion. He was arrested by Umayyad Calpih al-Walid II and subjected to various tortures, including having his tongue removed. Despite this, he was still able to pray the Divine Office and do so clearly. His captors were angered and had him blinded, crucified, and ultimately beheaded in the year 750. Monday, October 5: Bl. Alberto Marvelli—Confessor Bl. Alberto Marvelli was born in Ferrara, Italy on March 21, 1918. He grew up in a devout family who showed great concern for the poor such that his mother would feed the poor people who came to their door and tell her children, “Jesus has come, and he is hungry.” Following the death of his father, Alberto began to practice a lengthy daily routine of prayer, spiritual reading and meditation. When he was 18 years old he became president of the local chapter of the Catholic Action apostolate. Following graduation Alberto began riding his bicycle through the city to bring donations to the poor, including giving them his own money and the shoes off his feet. During World War II he risked arrest and freed Nazi prisoners by breaking into rail cars that were on their way to concentration camps. Alberto passed away on October 5, 1946 after being hit by a truck while riding his bicycle. Tuesday, October 6: Bl. Marie Rose Durocher—Virgin Bl. Marie Rose Durocher was born Eulalie Durocher in Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu, Canada on October 6, 1811. Following her brother’s ordination to the priesthood, she volunteered in his parish as housekeeper and parish worker. At the parish she helped her brother establish the first Canadian sodality for young women. In 1843, Eulalie was chosen by Bishop Ignace Bourget to found a congregation of women dedicated to education. She established the Sisters of the Holy Name of Jesus and Mary and took on the name Marie Rose. Wednesday, October 7: St. Artaldus—Bishop St. Artaldus was born to a noble family in the castle of Sothonod in Savoy, France in 1101. When he was around 20 years of age, he left behind the life of a noble and became a Carthusian priest in Portes. He served for many years as a priest before being asked by the prior of the Grande Char- treuse to found a charter house, which he did in the Valley of Valromey. The house was destroyed by fire, but he quickly rebuilt on a new site near the Arvieres River. When he was in his eighties, he was consecrated Bishop of Belley, but he resigned the post two years later. Thursday, October 8: St. Keyne—Virgin and Hermit St. Keyne was born to the royal family of King Brychan in Brecknock, Wales sometime during the fifth century. She had 23 siblings. Several men approached the noblewoman with offers of marriage, but she turned them down wishing to devote herself to Christ. Keyne left home and became a hermit along the Severn River in Somersetshire, England. She was eventually persuaded by her nephew to return to Wales. She traveled extensively and founded numerous churches during her journeys. Ac- cording to legend, Keyne caused a well to appear where people experienced miraculous healings.
Friday, October 9: Bl. Gunther—Hermit Bl. Gunther was born to a noble family in Thuringia, Germany around 955. After living a life of sin for about 50 years, he was converted by St. Gothard and gave up his riches to become a monk. Gunther funded the Hersfeld Monastery and went to live with Gothard in Niederaltaich, Bavaria. He served for a brief time as Abbot of Gollingen before becoming a hermit in Lalling Forrest be- ginning in 1008. There he founded a hermitage which grew into a monastery. As a hermit, Gun- ther worked to release German prisoners and helped negotiate peace between leaders. Saturday, October 10: Ss. Eulampius and Eulampia—Martyrs Ss. Eulampius and Eulampia were brother and sister who lived in Nicomedia, Turkey during the early fourth cen- tury. Eulampius bought bread for Christians during the persecutions of Emperor Maximian, at which point he was arrested for his Faith. After being pressed to renounce Christ, he was subjected to various tortures involving iron hooks and hot coals. Eulampius then requested to visit a Pagan temple. While there, he prayed that the statue would turn to dust, which it did. He was then subjected to further tortures. His sister, Eulampia, came forward as a Christian and she was tortured as well. The siblings were then sentenced to death by beheading. BECOME A PARISHIONER Church membership is an obligation of discipleship and love that derives from being united with Christ. At the Cathedral, active membership is a requirement for the celebration of a marriage or baptism, for one to be eligible to be a Godparent or Conformation sponsor, and for special benefits such as tuition subsidy at a Catholic school.
