Jesus, Bread of Heaven, who
came for our salvation,
mortals are born to
trouble just as sparks fly upward--
or so it often seems to
us--but your steadfast love is
as high as the heavens, and
your faithfulness
extends to the clouds.
Teach us to live in awe
of you
and in the comfort of
the Holy Spirit.
