I think there are some problems with the article. First, with the translation -- St Matthew's Gospel doesn't have "daily", even though epiousios (suprasubstantial) is usually mistranslated as "daily" in the usual English translations of the liturgy. Second, the commentary on this petition is one-sided. Many or most Orthodox Fathers would say that the petition is about the Eucharistic bread, and not the daily bread of our family table. --Fr Lev 22:13, October 20, 2008 (UTC)

$0.02: LaVerdiere puts forward that 'epiousion' was a reference to communion (and while he's a Catholic priest, his 'the Eucharist in the New Testament and the Early Church' is the textbook for some Orthodox theological programs) - memory recalls, a more literal translation would be 'ever-essential' (while 'super-essential' would be 'yperousion'). — by Pιsτévο talk complaints at 22:23, October 20, 2008 (UTC)
