WOV 708, “Grains of Wheat”
Devotion
God “spreads a table before us” and gives us Godself. God offers us the visible Word, proof of God’s unconditional, enduring, undivided, generous love for you and me.
It is the “Lord’s Supper” in both subjective and objective senses. Jesus is both the host who invites us and the food that fills us. He is the one who nourishes our bodies and provides hope for our souls. He gives of himself “for forgiveness” – for reunification, for communion with God and with one another.
Prayer
O God, our food and our drink, our refuge and our strength, may our hunger for you and your hunger that all may know of your love inspire us always to be evangelists – proclaimers in thought, word and deed of your good news for all the world. Amen.
