Holy One, may the song of your Spirit soothe us, your gentle arms cradle us, your tenderness ease our tiredness, and your welcome enfold our weariness, this night and all our nights.
D
God of welcome, your people are called to be distinct not by width of separation but depth of hospitality and peace within our lives: root out our resentment and free us to welcome all who work for life and liberation, whatever path they tread; through Jesus Christ, the companion of many ways.
P 19:714
e law of the Lord is perfect and revives the soul; * the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the innocent.
e statutes of the Lord are just and rejoice the heart; * the commandment of the Lord is clear and gives light to the eyes.
e fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever; * the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, more than much fine gold, * sweeter far than honey, than honey in the comb. By them also is your servant enlightened, * and in keeping them there is great reward. Who can tell how often he offends? * cleanse me from my secret faults. Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins; let them not get dominion over me; * then shall I be whole and sound, and innocent of a great offense. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, * O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.
Mark 9:38–50
e Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.
John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not stop him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. Whoever is not against us is for us. For truly I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose the reward. “If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and to be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into hell, where their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched. “For everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good; but if salt has lost its saltiness, how can you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
e Gospel of the Lord.
Eternal Spirit, Life-Giver, Pain-Bearer, Love-Maker, Source of all that is and that shall be, Father and Mother of us all, Loving God, in whom is heaven:
May the hallowing of your Name echo through the universe.
May the way of your justice be followed by the peoples of the world.
May your heavenly will be done by all created beings.
May your realm of peace and freedom sustain our hope and come on earth.
With the bread we need for today, In the hurts we absorb from one another, In times of temptation and test, From trials too sharp to endure, From the grip of all that is evil, For you reign in the glory of the power that is love, now and forever.
C
You prepare a place for us; we refuse your invitation. Lord have mercy.
Your table is open to all; we keep it for ourselves. Christ have mercy.
Your welcome is wild; we are caged by fear. Lord have mercy. A
rough the cross of Christ, God have mercy on you, pardon you and set you free. Know that you are forgiven and be at peace. God strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in life eternal.
Here is food that satisfies, the taste of communion. Here is wine pouring free, the washing away of fear. Here is life abundant, a table of peace for all. May this peace be in us and among us, a sign of hope for a world renewed.
e peace of the Lord be always with you.
e Lord be with you.
Lift up your hearts.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
God of blessing, we thank you always for making us in your image to serve the peace of all creation. You shared your name with our mothers and fathers: Sarah and Abraham, who left their home and became a blessing to all nations; Moses and Miriam, who went through sea and wilderness to the place of revelation; Deborah and Samson, who gave hope and justice to a people ruled by fear; Ruth and Jonah, who went to foreign soil and found a God who loves the stranger.
From our ancestors in faith came Jesus, the son of promise to fulfill the law, embody your love and draw all people to himself. He accepted death to break its fearful hold; he was raised to life to share it in abundance; he comes again to break the bread and pour the wine of hope.
erefore, with all the people whose story you have shaped, with women and men of faith in every part of the world, we glory in your generous love and sing in praise of you:
We ask that your Holy Spirit will fall upon us and upon these gifts, that these fragile, earthly things may be to us the body and blood of our lord and brother, Jesus Christ; who, on the night that he was betrayed, gathered with his faltering friends for a meal that tasted of freedom. Calling them to his table, he took bread and broke it and said: “is is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.” In the same way after supper, he took the cup saying: “is cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, whenever you drink it, to remember me.” As on that night, so here and now he offers himself in touch and taste beyond all words can hold.
Great is the mystery of faith:
erefore we come in memory and hope, responding to your call and the promise that echoes from the dawn of all time.
May mind and heart be held by your self-giving love as we stand before the cross, approach the empty tomb, and praise the one whose name is lifted high above all earthly power.
Receive our broken offering through his all-powerful grace and bind us in communion with all who share your gifts; through Jesus Christ, in whom all ages and all the worlds are drawn into ceaseless love of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 7
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
We break this bread to share in the Body of Christ; Bread and wine; the gifts of God for the people of God.
Let us pray.
Maythe outrageouswelcome oftheFather acceptusfor who weare; maytheincarnation of the Word touch and hold us close; may the wandering of the Spirit help us risk ourselves for love; and the blessing of God, Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer, be with you this night and always.
Entrust your life to the Lord of the open spaces and the time of adventure; to the life thatpulses through rain drenched streets and mountain heights; to the love that sustains us through feast and famine. Let God’s hope be a clearing sky before you, a compass in your heart guiding you to where you belong. e Divine Spirit dwells in us.
