John 6: 35

35 Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

I am the bread of life.

I am the morning roll, clutched protectively at the windswept bus stop,

I am the meal deal that will keep you going through this day of all days,

I am the breadsticks at the party,

I am the flat bread you used to get from that place,

I am the humble slice of toast that nurses you back to health.

I am the ciabatta you share with a cherished friend you have not seen in years,

I am the sourdough your gran used to make,

I am the bruschetta at the wedding,

the sandwiches at the wake,

the first dough little hands learn to knead,

I am the bread that was broken

for you.

 

Dear God,

Help us break bread with our neighbours.

Amen.
