We come to eat the bread of peace you offer us.
We come to drink your resurrecting wine.
We come to feast upon your presence here with us,
and so become your Body as we dine.
So make us whole again, and be our living breath.
Make us your hands, and you will be our nerve.
Oh, risen Christ, we join you, rising up from death,
and by your side we’ll go, made new, to love and serve.
Infinite God, the Christ who has walked among us you have raised up from death.
The love Jesus embodied you have set on the throne of the world. In humility we
open our hearts to your Word. Speak to us and re-point the very compass of our
hearts, that they may point to you alone, and to your love. We pray in the name of
the crucified and risen and exalted Christ. Amen.
Risen Christ, you are no longer in one time or place, but in every time
and place. You are here. You are in us. We are in you. We open our hearts to your
loving presence.
God of grace, we confess how small we imagine you; yet you are infinite, your
presence mysterious. We confess, we pretend to understand Jesus; yet we
exceeds our grasp. We confess we want Jesus for ourselves, yet he has
ascended, enlarged beyond our time and place. We confess how small our faith is.
Open our hearts, God to your infinite greatness, and your mystery. We
repent of our certainty. Holy Spirit, replace our fear with faith.
We pray that the God of the beloved, Jesus Christ, the God of glory, may give us a
spirit of wisdom and revelation as we come to know the Creator so that the eyes of
our hearts may be enlightened.
We give our hearts to God, who calls us to hope, who gives us a glorious
inheritance among the saints, and who shows immeasurably great power for
us who trust.
Your great power is at work in us, the same power you put to work in raising Christ
Christ is far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above
every name that is named, not only this age but also in the age to come.
You have put all things under his feet and have made him the head over all things
for the church.
We, the church, are His Body, his real Presence, through which he fills the
world. Bless us that we may be filled with Christ and fill the world with his
love and peace. Amen.
If we be risen with Christ, let us seek those things which are above, where Christ
sits at the right hand of God. O merciful Savior, as you have risen from the dead,
may we also rise to newness of life.
As you have ascended to the Father, may we be confident of final triumph.
As you are our intercessor: may we rejoice in forgiveness and peace.
As you sent the Comforter; may we be led by him and follow in your footsteps.
And we appear in glory; may we see you as you are, and enter into your glory
Beloved, now, we are the children of God, and it does not yet appear what we
shall be.
But we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see
him as he is.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the Lord, I am the one
who is, who always was, and who is still to come, the Almighty One. Those who are
victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my
Father on his throne.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom
and strength, and honor, and glory and blessings.
Blessings, and honor, and glory and power be to him who sits on the throne, and to
the Lamb, forever and ever! Amen!
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see;
and I look upon His face, the One who saved me by His grace!
When He takes me by His hand, and leads me through the promised land;
What a day, glorious day that will be.
