The story of five loaves and two fish is so well known to every Christian and non-Christian. It goes in line with the expression of Christ love to all that are so abundant to be distributed to everyone who follows him.
Another interpretation is that what Jesus did in the incident moved people and so all were become willing to sacrifice food that they kept with themselves, by passing the baskets around, people give and take, and that was why the whole crowd was fed.
Both saying reveals the attribute of love, abundance and ever vitality.
Mourning the death of John the Baptist with sorrow, curing the sick with mercy, feeding the crowd with passion, Jesus went through waves of emotions in a day. That was love, which guided him through. That was love he distributed to us and asked of us to spread it to our loved ones around.
Just as what Fr Leo told us today. He went through a day with wedding in the morning, funeral in the afternoon and another wedding in the evening. That’s the up and down of life, just in a day.
Keep our faith and passion alive as buoy in the waves.

I like this sentence very much. Need to practice in my life.
I've only heard about the first interpretation but I love the second one more. It's more reasonable too, though I don't think I should use this word to describe Bible.
