Lord, it’s hard to see children suffer, especially from hunger. We ask you to give them daily bread today and throughout the coming months. Provide the food they need to grow and thrive. We look to you, O God, our strength.  Most merciful God of all creation, we come to Your throne of grace with praise and thanks for all the rich blessings you have bestowed so freely upon all your children. We worship You and offer unending thanksgiving for Your love, Your justice and Your sustaining mercy.  We ask for special mercy this day for those crushed by poverty and those oppressed by forces beyond their control. We pray that those in the shadow of starvation may see the light of your presence in the form of life-sustaining food and that the hungry everywhere might be fed until they are filled.
(The Face of Hunger)

Bread of life, Bread of Heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread.
Feed those, who are hungry.
(Bread for the World)

When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.
(Mother Teresa 1910–1997)

Clearly, that is not the case today, Saturday, January 30, 2021, due to the efforts of many, many people who pulled their resources together for a large food distribution at SPEP in Pasadena, Maryland.  Know that you are loved and that we applaud your efforts!

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
