DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
This week, we are exploring some of the advice Pope Francis has
for us. Today, the advice almost sounds funny, but it has a good point to
it. Pope Francis’ advice is to finish the food we have at our meals. Pope
Francis indicates that sometimes we live in a culture of waste. We throw
away so much food that we neglect the fact that there are poor and hungry
people around us.
Loving God,
Forgive us for taking for granted the many gifts you give
us.
Help us to see the food we eat as a blessing from you,
and that we work to reduce wasting of this precious gift.
Help us to change our ways,
so that we may work to create a world
where everyone has the same access to good food
in our community
and world.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
