Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection for August 4, 2025 – Memorial of Saint John Vianney, PriestTheme: How God multiplies what we offer in trust when our resources feel inadequateJesus had just learned of John the Baptist’s death and withdrew to a deserted place to grieve, yet the crowds found Him. Instead of sending them away, He was moved with compassion and spent the entire day healing their sick. That evening, with only five loaves and two fish, He performed one of the most profound multiplication miracles in the Gospels, feeding thousands.This reflection explores how God transforms small offerings into extraordinary abundance when we give rather than withhold. We’ll connect this to the life of Saint John Vianney, who spent up to eighteen hours a day hearing confessions in a small parish, drawing tens of thousands of pilgrims each year because he offered himself fully to God.📖 Readings:Numbers 11:4b-15Psalm 81:12-13,14-15,16-17Matthew 14:13-21⏱️ Timeline:00:00 – Introduction00:15 – Reading I: Numbers 11:4b-1501:58 – Psalm Response: Psalm 81:12-13,14-15,16-1704:52 – Gospel: Matthew 14:13-2106:02 – ReflectionPerfect for:Catholics celebrating Saint John Vianney’s memorialChristians learning about sacrificial service and pastoral careAnyone feeling overwhelmed by the needs around themThose who want to understand how God multiplies resources when we trust Him🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?The Christus Dominus Daily Bread podcast is now available:Video Podcast:Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/7H4YZ5ZIq4rVVF3670Av3tYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTPJP7WEcCSTIO2N4N_AoIsxmzIYRYiStAudio Podcast:Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/christus-dominus-daily-bread/id1826298886🟦 TagsCatholic Daily Readings August 4 2025, Saint John Vianney memorial, Matthew 14 five loaves two fish miracle, Numbers 11 Moses burdened by the people, Psalm 81 God’s provision, Catholic pastoral care example, daily mass reflection Catholic podcast, Jesus compassion for crowds, Catholic Daily Bread podcast, feeling inadequate to serve, sacrificial service and multiplication, miracles of Jesus#CatholicDailyReadings #SaintJohnVianney #MultiplicationMiracle #CatholicMass #FiveLoavesTwoFish #PastoralCare
