Reflection
“You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That’s how that works.” ~Pope Francis
Prayer
God of good works,
So many in our world hunger today—hunger for food, for health, for safety, and for spiritual nourishment. We often lift these needs to you in prayer, hoping they will be fulfilled. Yet, through our call to serve others with the compassionate ministry of Jesus, we come to see that we are often the answer to those prayers. You invite us to be your hands, helping to satisfy the hunger of those in need. Strengthen our hearts to always be willing to serve, to reach out, and to love as Jesus loves. Through his name, we pray. Amen.
