What does Jesus mean when he asked us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread”? He can’t be only speaking to the poor and the hungry. After all, I have plenty of bread and food to eat, and I know he is speaking to me. His prayer is universal; it is for everyone.
The brothers at SSJE (the Society of St. John the Evangelist in Cambridge, MA) are currently offering a series of homilies on The Lord’s Prayer. In his comments on “Give us this day our daily bread,” Br. Liam invites us to consider what ‘bread’ each of us needs to respond to God's particular call to us. Br. Liam’s daily bread is 'an encounter with beauty.’ The ‘daily bread’ I need, to answer God’s call to intercessory prayer for individuals and situations, is solitude. What bread do you need?

Our Daily Bread

“We all have needs. We all have hungers. And I think that by identifying them, and in recognizing how these needs affect us physically, we can begin to recapture something of the immediacy and materiality of praying for our daily bread.”
