We acknowledge by faith that God provides for us. He did so by the word of the prophet Elisha, and He did so through Jesus Christ, who fed a large crowd that came to Him, who depended on Him for food when large amounts of food for all of them wasn't readily available.
Jesus Christ continues to feed His people who come to Him by faith, in the Eucharist. Not only are we fed individually for our spiritual lives in this sacred meal, but we are brought together so closely in one faith in the one God who has drawn us together in His Son and by the power of the Spirit.
Sorry, this should be the 17th Sunday of Ordinary Time, not the 16th.
