Breaking bread
I love that expression.
Last night we had a gathering of the women who made Cornerstone XII
It was pot luck.
We began with bread prayer.
We passed the loaf to each other, and as we broke off a hunk, we reflected on our Cornerstone experience
Gathering in this way moves me greatly.
It reminds me so, especially in Lent,
of the way Jesus met with people,
taught them, and prayed with them.
..And shared a meal.
He sat with women just like us and spoke of the Father's love.
We gather in his name
and eat
The wine and bread.
Even this unconsecrateded meal is holy
because it is done in prayer and with faith
Dear Lord, thank you for your blessings,
be with us on our journey through Lent and beyond.
Bless the Mt. Carmel women
and help us to enkindle your spirit by
sharing your word
and the bread and the wine
often
whenever and wherever we gather.
Amen
