The familiar words from the English, “Give us this day our daily bread,” offer a new meaning when translated from the Aramaic text. “Create for us, through us the Bread of Life, we ask only for what is needed to feed the next mouth in our illuminated circle of life.”
An abundance of nourishment is implied and a trust that there is always enough for us to be generous and to come back and ask for more again and again. Both ours and others’ physical hunger for bread and spiritual hunger are satisfied at this sacred meal. What spiritual riches have each of us been given that are not our to keep? The “companionship” (those who break bread together) is translated into generously offering our spiritual gifts to others. On the night of the last supper, Yeshua’s words to his disciples reveal a radical call to hospitality, inclusiveness, and the remembrance of our shared source and goal Alaha, Reality itself and the unseen world.
Chant, body prayer and contemplation, icon gazing, reflection, group sharing.
“There is a basket of fresh bread on your head, yet you go door to door asking for crusts.” -Rumi
