Bread-Breaking Prayer
As bread that was scattered on the hillside,
was gathered together and made one,
so too, we, your people,
scattered throughout the world,
are gathered together around your table and become one.
As grapes grown in the field
are gathered together and pressed into wine,
so too are we drawn together
and pressed by our times to share a common lot
and are transformed into your life-blood for all.
So let us prepare to eat and drink
Jesus taught us:
inviting the stranger to our table
and welcoming the poor.
may their absence serve to remind us
of the divisions this Eucharist seeks to heal.
And may their presence help transform us
into the Body of Christ we share.
