Lord Jesus, you keep faith forever,
executing justice for the oppressed,
giving food to the hungry.
Lest the journey be too much for us,
you call us to get up and eat,
and you feed us as much as we want.
May what we eat build us up in love,
joined and knit together into your body.

But speaking the
truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into

with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the
body's growth in building itself up in love.
John 6:11
Then Jesus took
the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were
seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.
