Seven Weeks for Water 2025, week 5: Lenten Sustenance: Jesus at the table

The fifth reflection of the Seven Weeks for Water 2025 series of the WCC Ecumenical Water Network is written by Phil Hildtich, with inputs from Sarah Larkin and Amanda Munoz from the PAAHC (Prayer & Action Against Hunger Coalition). He focuses on artwork chosen for this year’s Weekend of Prayer and Action against Hunger campaign. Linking climate change and melting glaciers with food production and hunger, he reminds us to be mindful of the food that we take for granted and draws our attention to the “10 Commandments for Food.” He also highlights the Christian witness to address hunger in times of climate change, being inspired by Jesus, who always had a concern for feeding the hungry.
