5 August 2025 -- Tuesday of the 18th week of Ordinary Time
Numbers 12:1-13; Matthew 14:22-36
Homily
The event at the heart of this Gospel story is placed by the Evangelist Matthew between two manifestations of Jesus' concern for the hungry and the sick. Our text begins with the mention of the multiplication of the loaves and ends with the account of the crowds bringing their sick to Jesus so that they might be healed, if only by touching the fringe of his cloak.
