Bread!

Today was our associate retreat day in preperation for recommitment on St. Josephs Day. It is always a blessed time of sharing, praying, and just being together. The theme was Bread, blessed, broken, and shared. There is still much to be gleaned from the listening, sharing, and prayer of the day. But, I can safely say that today we all were multi grain, cinnamon swirl, wheat, and Easter Bread in all their aromas and significance. Here is a song from the day. It is definetly safe to say that it will probably be part of my prayer for awhile.

Let Us Be Bread

Let us be bread, blessed by the Lord,
broken and shared, life for the world.
Let us be wine, love freely poured.
Let us be one in the Lord.

1. I am the bread of life, broken for all.
Eat now and hunger no more.
One faith, one hope, one symbol of love
given to us in this one bread,
one cup. O let us be one in the Lord.

2. You are my friends if you keep my commands,
no longer servants but friends.

3. See how my people have nothing to eat.
Give them the bread that is you.

4. As God has loved me so I have loved you.
Go and live on in my love.
