COMMUNION PRAYER
Lord, as we eat this bread and drink this cup, linking arms, pour your grace into us all.
Grace us with Your presence as we quietly and loudly pray to You.
May we see in each other Your light, Your love and You.
May it not matter our difference, our names, our languages, our looks, and our way of doing things. May what matter today and everyday be that we are one in You.
May You bring comfort to those who are grieving, lonely, heartbroken, ill or broken of spirit.
May You strengthen those whose lives feel shattered, don't make sense, in crisis, and experiencing loss.
May You say the healing word to those who need it.
May You love the unloved through us.
May You shine Your light into those whose world is covered in darkness.
May You use us to feed the hungry, clothe the ones who need clothes, give a cup of water to those who are thirsty, shelter the homeless, visit the sick and those in prison.
May lives be awakened to You, Lord, to Your love and to Your kingdom
Whose door is always open to all.
Amen.
