“Loving Father, as we gather in your service, help us to fully understand the magnificence of your Son’s sacrifice for us and the wonder of your presence in the Holy Eucharist. Guide and instill in us perseverance and a willingness to do your will. Open our hearts to others as we invite them to your table to share your precious gifts. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, who lives with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit one God for ever and ever. Amen”
