Here’s a prayer of commitment based on Mary’s Magnificat (Luke 1:47-55), and suitable for use following the Lord’s Supper.
Prayer after Communion
(based on Luke 1: 47-55)
God our Father,
you fill the hungry with good things
and send the self-satisfied away empty.
In this eucharist you have filled us
with the word and the bread of life
of your Son Jesus Christ.
Make us hunger now for his coming
in the hearts and the homes of all.
Fill us with his spirit of service
and self-forgetting love,
that through us, he may become near to people.
We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
