Holy God, we thank you for your son who is the Bread of life and the blood of new covenant. We thank you for the holy table which symbolizes the transformative power of your sacrifice. Equip us with your Holy Spirit to weave the threads of harmony and communion with all the suffering humanity and creation as we partake in your Eucharistic meal, through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit now and for ever more. Amen.
