“Pray along with us, won’t you?”
Each time we celebrate at the Eucharistic table
Our hearts are broken open in Gratitude
For the Love You lavish on us, O God.
At our own tables of Hospitality today,
We ask You, our Grace-ious God
To fashion us into
A Thanks-giving people,
A For-Giving people,
A Saints-giving people,
A Care-giving people.
May our Faith be grounded in Your Baptismal call to holiness,
May our Witness be formed by the Gospel,
May our Preaching transform us
As it ripples out to others.
Bless us, O God, with all Your gifts…
