Have you ever gone through a heartbreak or a terrible loss but had to power through it because you knew you had responsibilities? Have you ever had to set aside your feelings at the time because you knew other people were relying on you? It seems like Jesus knew that very well. This episode is a further reflection on what was in Jesus' heart during the well-known miracle of the Feeding of the 5000.
