us whole. And that we may become for you, your body, loving and caring in the
world until your kindom comes. Amen.
We remember Jesus.
All, with hand extended in blessing:
On the night before he
died, Jesus sat at the Seder meal with his companions. Reminding them of what
he taught, he bent down to wash their feet. Jesus returned to his place at
table, lifted the Passover bread and spoke the blessing, then broke the bread
saying: “Take and eat, this is my very self.” (Pause) Jesus then raised
the cup of blessing, spoke the grace, and offered them the wine saying: “Take
and drink of the covenant made new again through my life for you and for
everyone. Whenever you do this, you remember me.”
All: Remember, gracious God, your Church throughout the
world. Make us open to receive all believers. In union with all people, may we
strive to create a world where suffering is diminished, and where all people
can live in health and wholeness.
Thru Christ, with Christ, in
Christ, in union with the Holy Spirit, all glory is yours, gracious God. (Sing)
Amen

Father and Mother”)

Prayer of Thanksgiving (Didache,
Instruction, 100CE)
Men: For the thanksgiving, give thanks this way:
First, for the cup: We thank you, Abba God, for the sacred vine of David your
son, whose meaning you made clear to us through our brother Jesus, yours ever
be the splendor.
Women: And for the bread fragment: We thank you, Amma
God, for the life and wisdom whose meaning you made clear to us through Jesus,
yours ever be the splendor.
All: As this fragment was scattered high on hills,
but by gathering was united into one, so let your people from earth’s ends be
united into your single reign, for yours are splendor and might through Jesus
Christ down the ages.

News with all! All: We will do so! Alleluia!
