ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton (See her on
YouTube:Bishop Eaton video)
calls us to join our Roman Catholic brothers & sisters in praying for an
end to hunger:
O God, you entrusted to us the fruits of all creation so that we might
care for the earth and be nourished with its bounty.
You sent us your Son to share our very flesh and blood and to teach us
your Law of Love. Through his death and resurrection, we have been formed into
one human family.
Jesus showed great concern for those who had no food – even
transforming five loaves and two fish into a banquet that served five thousand
and many more.
We come before you, O God, conscious of our faults and failures, but
full of hope, to share food with all members in this global family.
Through your wisdom, inspire leaders of government and of business, as
well as all the world’s citizens, to find just, and charitable solutions to end
hunger by assuring that all people enjoy the right to food.
Thus we pray, O God, that when we present ourselves for Divine
Judgment, we can proclaim ourselves as “One Human Family” with “Food for All”. Amen.
