Jesus, I have these five small loaves of bread and two fish... I don't know if it's enough, but I want to give them to you...

Thank you, my young friend! This is a wonderful gift! Come with me.

Jesus taught us that if we generously share what we have, it will be passed on to everyone and returned to us with greater power. So, let's all do our best to help those around us as much as we can.
