...God of our happiness, the seed of the wheat diedin the earth
to let life sprout up again and the grain was crushed to give us
tasty nourishing bread. Let this bread and wine now become your
Son among us and enrich us with his risen life. Let him make us all
new and empower us to build up his kingdom of love and peace
and integrity. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord... AMEN.

Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
your son promised us not to leave us orphans
but to be with us always. Let your spirit of power
and thruth change these gifts into your Son present
here in our midst. Through the Holy Spirit of love
create us anew and give us fresh hope so that we can
do your liberating will and live in your love for ever...
Amen.

Almighty God
We are living in a time of darkness
But with you the darkness will not triumph.
Death and suffering will not triumph over life.
Revenge and anger shall not triumph
over forgiveness and love.
Fill our hearts, our communities and all peoples
around the world with the light of your healing presence.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ
Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
angel

Lord, I would always do your will,
Your perfect plan I would fulfill;

Don't let me move too fast or slow,
For it's your timing I would know.

God of mercy,
accept all we offer you this day.
May we who celebrate this Eucharist
be constant in our service to you
and to each other,
as we follow Jesus Christ,
the One in whom we have our life.
Amen.
