In the breaking of the bread …

One reason I look forward to this Sunday’s gospel reading every year is the opportunity it offers to hear this beautiful hymn.  It was sung by our choir at the 11:30 mass this morning.  (I’ve heard it in other settings, too — including, last year, as the communion hymn for a wedding.)

Here’s a lovely rendering of “In the Breaking of the Bread” by Kitty Cleveland.
