Fields of golden corn waving
in the breeze, grapes swelling
gently on the vine until they’re
fit to burst, when juice will flow.
Both ripen and are sanctified
by sun and rain, until at harvest
they provide our daily bread
and celebration wine.
Transformed through prayer,
they become symbols of saving
grace, an open invitation to share,
now and for ever, in risen life.
Then, as we spiritually digest them,
we discover that our ordinary food
and drink are holy too and every meal
can be blessed by the presence of God.
