Meal With Grace

The Thursday lunch program at the Cathedral here, is remarkably the same in intention and practice, as the Dinner With Grace program in San Francisco; obscuring social boundaries that divide our communities. I visited with ten or twelve guests, sharing a lunch of rice, beans, and sausages. They were friendly amigos with warm greetings and the desire to teach me Portuguese. I found the new words coming to me more freely than ever before. The power of desire to connect in community. One table,
one meal, one family.
