As we gather at your table, as we listen to your
Word,
help us know, O God, your presence; let our hearts
and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story till we claim it as our
own;
teach us through this holy banquet how to make
Love’s victory known.

2
Turn our worship into witness in the sacrament of
life;
send us forth to love and serve you, bringing peace
where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion to forgive as
you forgave;
may we still behold your image in the world you died
to save.

3
Gracious Spirit, help us summon other guests to
share that feast
where triumphant Love will welcome those who had
been last and least.
There no more will envy blind us nor will pride our
peace destroy,
as we join with saints and angels to repeat the
sounding joy.
