THE TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST - 8/2/2026
In the gospel reading for this coming Sunday, Jesus feeds the multitude with only a little bread. He is still doing this: come to worship, to hear this blessing and to eat the food that our Savior gives to us.

A simple Coptic icon depicts today’s gospel reading. As was traditional in Christian art, Jesus’ outer robe is red, to signify that for us he is royalty. In accord with Matthew’s accounts of the miraculous feeding, women and children are part of the picture.
