Eating is a Moral Act

I should have known something like the National Catholic Rural Life Conference existed, but until last night I had never heard of it. There is so much to consider about how we live and move through this world...here's the prayer from their website:

O, Lord Help us to remember where our bread comes from and why we yearn for living waters. Teach us your guiding principlesfor reverence of your Creation. Show us how to turn the ground into a sacred commons once again. Guide us to cover the earth with a lasting agriculture. Help us make a place at the table for everyone. Grace us when we eat with justice on our plate. Then fill us with joy. Amen.
