And lo, the people gathered 'round the Teacher, for they were hungry and weary, having journeyed far to hear His words.
1 And Jesus lifted His eyes upon the multitude, and He saw that they hungered, and He had compassion on them.
2 Then spake He unto His disciples, saying, “What food have ye to give them?”
3 And Andrew answered, “Lord, there is but a single burrito, filled with beans and salsa, and a dollop of sour cream. But what is this among so many?”
4 And Jesus took the burrito, and He lifted it up, and He blessed it, saying, “Father, thou who bringeth forth the harvest and filleth the hungry with good things, bless this burrito, that it may be more than enough.”
5 Then He brake it, and gave to His disciples, and as they passed it out, lo, the burritos multiplied, warm and filled with abundance.
6 And the people ate, and were satisfied, and there was rejoicing, for none were left empty.
7 And when they gathered the fragments, twelve baskets were filled, for the Lord’s provision overfloweth, even in flour and bean.
8 And the people marveled, saying, “Truly, this is the food of heaven, wrapped in goodness and grace.”
Thus was fulfilled what was spoken: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every burrito that proceedeth from the hand of the Lord.”
Amen.
