Prayer for World Communion Sunday

Prayer for World Communion Sunday
Wondrous God of Infinite Grace, today we gather as a global community around the Table you have set for us.  The bread is broken, the cup is poured, the prayers and praise are offered...and in faithful obedience we remember Jesus.  This table is his, after all.  He calls us here and by the power of the Holy Spirit, gathers us in to share in the feast.

As we join our hearts and minds and spirits together in prayers of thanksgiving for the gift of the Eucharist, remind us that in the bread and the cup, we might just glimpse your realm.  Holy One, bless us as we enter into the deep Mystery of the sacrament; that we might see all of your goodness reflected in the garnet pool of the cup, and all of our brokenness redeemed in the beautiful simplicity of the bread.

Help us to taste your compassion and live Jesus' passion for love, justice and peace.  Send us into every part of this world with hearts that have been kneaded into the softness of tolerance and care.  Send us, God.  Refreshed, nurtured, blessed and always thankful.

Amen
