And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?”
The disciples show remarkable stupidity, they forget Christ's earlier miracle of feeding the five thousand and fail to bring that to mind as proof of His power. We do the same: daily we let past mercies slip from us and neglect to expect from God the same aid He has already given. Remember what He has done, and look for it again.
AI summary
Christ's power overflows in cures without stint or measure; He sits not on a throne of judgment but on a mountain where all may reach Him freely. He settles Himself to this work as one waiting to be gracious, expecting patients like Abraham at his tent-door, ready to help any soul that comes.

Commenting on Matthew 15:29-39
They put the question with real force: a vast multitude in a wilderness where no food exists, too many people and too little means to buy bread enough. The disciples ask as men stunned by the seeming impossibility, their astonishment filling every word.
