Prayers on food and hunger
Pray with us for a fairer global food system where everyone has enough.
Thank you for the smile
of the child:
eyes bright, belly full, licking
the last caked crumbs from his spoon.
Thank you for the pride
of the woman:
arms spread, palms stretched, heavy
with her first year's harvest.
Thank you for the joy
of the man:
coming home to his family's future
with fair payment for his crops.
Thank you for the love
of the neighbour:
seeing another's need, sharing
from the little she owns.
Thank you for the hope
that we share:
determination that all should enjoy
the richness of your harvest.
