Holy Communion

Be gentle with us, Lord,

be gentle.

Our spirits, these days,

are so very, very fragile.

Enrich us, Lord, please.

Make us whole again

with the sacrifice

of Your body and blood.

For in taking the bread

we find life.

And in drinking the wine

we are transfused

with Your spirit.

Let Your Holy Spirit

now descend upon us

in a new baptism.

Strengthen us.

Stabilize us.

Lift us again to our feet

and send us running

to spread Your Good News.

We shall not die

but live,

for You have

become our salvation.

Amen.

Psalm 118:21
