Daily Bread
"Give us today our daily bread."
— Matthew 6:11
Providing God,
Bread, this basic food present on so many tables around the world. Simple but nourishing, it represents essential food.
Thank You for daily bread. For the wheat that grows, for the hands that transform it, for what arrives at my table. Thank You for this food that sustains me.
May I never take this bread for granted. May I think of those who lack bread, share when I can, eat with gratitude.
Amen.

Reflection
Eat a piece of bread mindfully. Think of the whole journey from the field to your table.
For all those who lack daily bread.
