WOV 766, “We Come to the Hungry Feast”
Devotion
We leave the Lord’s table, satisfied – for the moment. But we know, almost as soon as we leave, that we’re hungry again, in need of forgiveness again. We know that we’ll need to return to the table as often as it’s offered to us.
And until all the world has come to the table, we know that our work is not done. Our work “in between the times” to invite others to the feast of God’s Word will continue. “Marked with the cross of Christ, we are claimed, gathered, and sent, for the good of the world.”
Prayer
O God, your wisdom is measureless. Your power is boundless. Your love is endless. You are the source and goal of all that is good. Forgive us when we doubt you. Support us when we fail you. Pursue us when we follow other ways. Speak to us when we see the world as ours to use and not yours for us to tend. Amen.
