" ‘They who do not give to another what belongs to the other are not eating their own bread, but are eating both their bread and the other’s.’ (Meister Eckhart) <\/span><\/p>\n

"The thousands of hungry persons in our cities and the millions of starving persons in our world question the quality of our bread; it is bitter because it contains too many children’s tears; it is hard because its substance embraces the torture of so many empty stomachs. It does not deserve to be called our bread. If the bread is to be ours, then we must transform the world and deliver society from the mechanisms that permit the wealth to be maintained at the expense of bread taken from the mouths of others.<\/span><\/p>\n

"Bread calls us to a collective conversion. This condition must be fulfilled if our prayer is not to be vain and pharisaical. The gospel forbids me to ask only for myself, disregarding the needs of others known by me. Only our bread is God’s bread."
      \u2014 Leonardo Boff, from Praying With Jesus and Mary<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
