In this Tuesday after the beautiful feast of the Epiphany, our Lord has revealed himself to the nations, and in today’s readings we see how this revelation is given flesh in the loving gestures of the heart of the Saviour. In the first reading, Saint John reminds us that “love is from God,” and “.. God is love.” Then in the Gospel, Saint Mark begins the passage of the miraculous feeding of the loaves and fish by describing how the heart of the Saviour was moved with pity for the crowds.
