"God, we give you thanks for this meal. When Jesus blessed and broke the scanty resources of five loaves of bread and two fish, there was not only enough to feed the hungry multitudes, but there was an overabundance of food. To the hungry crowds that longed to be close to Jesus, the bread and the fish was a tangible and literally life-saving sign of grace. They were not only filled, but the overabundance of food was an overabundant of grace. Let this meal represent your overabundant grace for your church and for all people who hunger. Amen."
This blessing reflects my understanding of food as an expression of grace. I think the story about Jesus feeding the multitudes shows us the compassion of Jesus and the overabundance of grace that is given us.
