Lord Jesus,
Thank you for inviting us to your table
for here, you show us our lives

the daily bread of our work and care
the wine of delight, pressed from the fruits
of our creativity
and our brokenness, with all its pain
and appalled self-knowledge

We celebrate the life that is ours
for your eternal word is
that it is precious in your sight

And here you offer us your life

broken to share life
poured out to renew life
promised to transform life

We celebrate the life that is yours
pattern of reality for us

And here, your life and our lives
become one in spirit and in flesh
moving out into the life of the world

We celebrate the life that is love revealed
love given and received
love in action.
