For those moments in my life
when You opened a window
and offered a word
that nourished the hunger in my soul.
Give me the grace to realize that these are the words I live by,
not by bread alone,
whatever form that bread may take,
however satisfying it may seem at the time.
Give me the grace to live not just reflectively but receptively,
that I may not only notice when a window is opened
but also receive what is offered,
understanding that what is offered
is my soul's daily bread...
(A prayer by Ken Gire from his book, Windows of the Soul, p. 59)
