Commentary of the Gospell
Periodically, the news is filled with reports of famine and widespread hunger in various parts of the world. In almost all of these cases, the problem is not a worldwide shortage, but poor distribution of the available food. The same is true of other resources as well. A small percentage of the world’s population has far more than they could ever use while a far larger number of people, many of them children r the elderly, lack even the most basic essentials for life.
The apostles faced a similar challenge in the early days of the Church. Concern arose about the equitable distribution of resources to those in need. The apostles recognized that ensuring that people received the necessary care was a fundamental element of living the Christian faith. It required people filled with the Holy Spirit and committed to doing God’s will.
The same is true for us today. As people of faith, we have a responsibility to attend to the needs of the poor and vulnerable, making sure that they have what they need and working to create more just economic and political systems that help to ensure that all are able to live in dignity and peace.
