Communion Prayer

Communion Prayer:

Jesus help us to remember
that your blood was shed for the least of these
Remind us today as we drink this wine that
you desire wholeness of all of your creation
and that you charge us with its care

Search our hearts Holy Spirit, reveal to us areas of blindness
illuminate the dark corners where we see your blood in only one shade
for only one purpose
and for only the few who make it to your table
your blood flowed for humanity and where one is deprived of its healing, so do we all

God reveal yourself as King of kings
and show us what it means to represent you on this earth
empower us to be the vehicle through which your will is done
on earth as it is in heaven
soften our hearts to be vessels of your love

Jesus, through this bread, let us see your body
your muddy, calloused hands
your dusty, blistered feet
your face, touched with the lines of 30 years of the emotions of the ages
may this bread remind us of your body that was ravaged for all of your creation

Search our hearts Holy Spirit, reveal to us areas of blindness
illuminate the dark corners where we see your body as small enough to fit in our pockets
for only our own individual purposes
and for only those who are clean enough to touch it
your body was broken for humanity and where one is deprived of its healing, so do we all

God reveal yourself as King of kings
and show us what it means to represent you on this earth
empower us to be the vehicle through which your will is done
on earth as it is in heaven
soften our hearts to be vessels of your love
