Romans 8:35, 37–39. Nothing—nothing!—can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 14:13–21. The miracle of the loaves and fish serves as a sign that the reign of God is at work in Jesus. Matthew also tells the story with Eucharistic overtones, as a hint that the Eucharist is an anticipation of the heavenly banquet yet to come.
