PRAISE AND GLORY: PRAYERS OF PRAISE ENGAGING THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST STATEMENT OF FAITH

DAY 29 - MONDAY
God calls us into the Church to eat at Christ’s table.

O Bread of Heaven, our Hope and Sustenance,
we praise You for your consistent generosity and care.
You have fed our spirits by the presence of your own Spirit.
Our lives are fully nourished
by your forgiveness and inspiring presence.
As we share the bread and cup that You prepare for us
in the rest between our days of labor,
we are reminded of your great sacrifice,
your agony and victory, your immeasurable glory,
and your loving passion that precedes any choice
or act of faith on our part.
We have eaten the bread with great sorrow and deep gratitude.
We have drunk the fruit of the vine
in painful shame and indescribable joy.
We rejoice in your hospitality.
We rejoice in every provision that You have made
for our salvation and for our faithful discipleship.  Amen.
