God who knows all about our poverty, our fears, our hunger,
God whom we call Father in faith,
give us this bread of essential relationship,
of relationship with you.
Thanks be to you Father, through Jesus our Brother and Lord.
In Him, the unthinkable has been realised:
death banished from human life.
It remains for this eternal life to make its way into our mortal flesh,
in our wounded relationships, in our wavering hope.
But He has left us His Spirit to carry on His Passover:
His Spirit of the Risen One!
We bless you for this, Father, with Him and in Him, for ever.
