Dear God,

I was struck by their little eyes looking up at me.  Standing by the altar preparing to serve Holy Communion I noticed all the little children sitting on the floor in front of me.   What wondrous little people they were.  But more notably they were sitting waiting expectantly to receive the Eucharist, the holy bread and wine of heaven.

I wondered.  Are we that thirsty and hungry?  Are we adults as expectant as the children?  I'm still not sure.

Holy God,
give us
the same
hunger and thirst
as children.
Make our hearts
and minds
ready for you.
Make us
passionate people,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
