Augustine of Hippo

"Give us today our daily bread." It can be taken quite simply that we pour out this prayer for our daily sustenance, that we may have plenty of it; and if we don't have plenty, that we may not lack it entirely. He called it "daily," "for as long as it is called 'today.' " Daily we live, daily we get up, daily we take our fill, daily we get hungry. May he give us our daily bread.
