Who is the Son of Man? Those words, “The Son of Man”, are seldom used today; and to find out their meaning we need to look first at the Old Testament.

Whether as individuals or as couples we too are each called in the words of Zacharias as set out in the Gospel of St. Luke to “prepare His ways”—that is, to prepare the way of Jesus Christ in our own lives and in the lives of others.

Let us make the sign of the cross, and invite the Presence of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit into our lives—into our hopes and our fears. God already knows those hopes and fears, but sometimes He waits for us to share our lives with Him privately, to be honest with Him, so that He can then be honest with us, through revealing some of the fullness of Himself to each of us.

Fr. Emmanuel asks how did Jesus Christ take five loaves of bread and two fish and feed 5,000 people?
