New Lutheran Quote of the Day

A petition for bread in the Lord's Prayer entails not only ordinary food but also that Bread for whom crumbs the Canaanite woman longed and that the Father gives in the Eucharist. By receiving this Bread sins are forgiven to those who, like Jesus, forgive others. -- David Scaer, *Discourses in Matthew* p. 226
