Prayer 2002: Inspired by Matthew 26:26-35


(Matthew 26:24-35)
Holy One, Creator and Sovereign,
we breathe in your love
and seek your face always,
rejoicing in the power of creation and renewal
You are constantly stirring up within us.

May we be steadfast in loving you and each other, Holy Savior,
in living according to your precepts,
in giving abundantly according to your example.
May we be fed and nurtured
by your wisdom and compassion,
remembering that the table is wide,
and that You, Blessed Jesus,
call all to be invited to the feast,
joined as one people, one body, one family.
May our cup overflow
with profligate grace and mercy,
that we may be your hands and heart in the world,
healing and reconciling in the Name of Love.

By the power of the Holy Spirit,
consecrate us to your service today,
and pour out your blessing
upon those whose needs we raise before You.

Amen.
