Make us worthy, Lord,
to serve our fellow-men throughout the world
who live and die in poverty and hunger.
Give them through our hands, this day their daily bread,
and by our understanding love, give peace and joy.

Offering of the Heart — Hands of Compassion: Close-up of gentle hands, softly lit, offering freshly baked bread toward outstretched, waiting hands emerging from shadows. Warm, golden light infuses the scene, symbolizing compassionate service, generosity, and the provision of nourishment and dignity.
