Scripture for Meditation on Hunger

They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them, for the One who loves them will lead them and guide them beside the springs of water.  (Isaiah 49:10)

Prayers

O God, giver of life and health,
your Son Jesus Christ has called us
to hunger and thirst to see right prevail;
refresh us with your grace
that we may not be weary of well-doing;
for the sake of him who meets all our needs,
our Savior Jesus Christ.  Amen.

 

God of the hungry,
make us hunger and thirst for the right,
till our thirst for justice has been satisfied
and hunger has gone from the earth.  Amen.

 

Table Grace

Bendice, Señor, nuestro pan,
y da pan a los que tienen hambre
y hambre de justicia a los que tienen pan.
Bendice, Señor, nuestro pan.

Lord, bless our bread,
and give bread to those who are hungry;
and a hunger for justice to those who have bread.
Lord, bless our bread.
