BREAD FOR THE WORLD

Bread for the world: a world of hunger.

Wine for all peoples: people who thirst.

May we who eat be bread for others.

May we who drink pour out our love.

Lord Jesus Christ, you are the bread of life,

Broken to reach and heal the wounds of human pain.

Where we divide your people

you are waiting there

On bended knee to wash our feet

with endless care.

Lord Jesus Christ, you are the wine of peace,

Poured into hearts once broken and

where dryness sleeps.

Where we are tired and weary

you are waiting there

To be the way which beckons us beyond despair.

Lord Jesus Christ, you call us to your feast,

At which the rich and powerful have become the least.

Where we survive on others in our human greed

You walk among us begging for your every need.
