Lent 3: Our Daily Bread

Praying for our daily bread calls our attention to the many people in our world who dont have enough to eat, for whom the need is literal bread or food. It asks us to offer ourselves as an answer to others' prayers by providing for their needs. But it also includes spiritual needs, the need for meaning and purpose and connection to God. When we strive to help meet the needs of others, our own deep spiritual needs are met.
