Our Father, Father of us all, as simply as we know how, we bring our lives to Thee and the lives of others who need Thee too.
All of us are pilgrims in this way that brings so many surprises, so many mysteries. Why some are sick and others are well, we do not know. Why some are light hearted and others sad, why some die young and others live beyond the years of apparent usefulness, these things we do not know or understand.
But we know of Thy love and we do believe that all things work together for good to those who love the Lord. We bring our poor love love to Thine infinite love and we offer Thee the souls and bodies of those who need Thee, both here and in the multitude no man can number beyond our sight.
As we partake of communion, help us to give Thee back the life we owe, "that in thine ocean depths, its flow may richer fuller be." In the name of Him who came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Amen
