The Breaking of the Bread

Celebrant Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; People Therefore let us keep the feast.

The Invitation to Communion

Celebrant

So, come to this table, you who have much faith, and you who would like to have more; you who have been to this sacrament often, and you who have not been for a long time. You who have tried to follow Jesus, and you who have fallen short. Come. It is Christ who invites you to meet him here.

All are welcome and encouraged to receive Communion, whatever one’s Christian tradition.

Lamb of God

Prayer after Communion (The people may stand or kneel.)

Celebrant and People

Eternal Light, shine in our hearts. Eternal Power, be our strength. Eternal Wisdom, guide us as we serve you. Eternal Goodness, you have drawn us to your heart and united us in the Sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood. Now grant that with all our heart, mind, and strength, we may evermore seek your face in all those we meet in the world. Amen.

The Blessing

Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go, love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is in you. And the blessing of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit be among you and remain with you always. Amen.
