One of my students recently shared this prayer with me. She learned it in Nicaraqua, and thought I’d like it. It broke my heart open when I read it; it’s such a simple yet powerful prayer.
Gracias Señor por el pan
da pan al que tiene hambre
y hambre de justicia al los que tienen pan.
Gracias Señor por el pan
Thank you, Lord, for bread.
Give bread to those who are hungry
And hunger for justice to those who have bread.
Thank you, Lord, for bread.
