H O M I L Y
The central element of this Gospel is placed by the Evangelist Saint Matthew between two manifestations of Jesus' care for the hungry and the sick. Our text begins, indeed, with the mention of the multiplication of the bread and ends with that of the crowds bringing their sick to Jesus so that they might be healed even only by touching the tassel of his clock.
