Lord, thank you for being the Bread of Life.

You are the One who satisfies our soul’s deepest desire

with the joy of salvation.

We come to you with gratitude

for all that we have.

Open our eyes and the eyes of all

to see you as the only Bread for spiritual hunger

but, also, to see your presence

in the faces of all who have physical hunger.

Give us openness of soul and courageous,

willing hearts to be with our sisters and brothers

who hunger for so much.

For when we care for them we,

in fact, care for you.

We ask this in the name of the One

whose mercy is endless, Jesus, the Lord.

Amen.
