Nourishment

World Food Day

Reflection

“Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. ~ Matthew 14:19

Prayer

Sustaining Lord, we live in a world of such bounty. And yet we know far too many wake up hungry, struggle for nourishment through the day, and go to bed hungry. May our celebration of World Food Day inspire us to transform this reality, making our own contribution to creating a world in which everyone participates in the bounty of God’s creation. In God’s name, we pray. Amen.
