Here’s
a pastor’s prayer for World Communion Sunday from Leonard Sweet’s Preach the Story website.
World Communion Sunday: Pastor’s Prayer
Wondrous
God of infinite love and boundless compassion
Mark
our hearts with the seal of your handiwork
Create
within us the joy of being in your presence.
Stitch
into our souls the desire to serve,
the
power to heal,
and
the capacity to love deeply and genuinely.
Mold
us into reservoirs of hope,
that
we might pour out your bountiful blessings
upon
all of your people.
May
this time we partake of the body and blood of Jesus
unite
us in the community of saints who know your love
and
proclaim your Son with fervor and grace
to
a broken and hurting world.
May
your healing hands be the salve
for
ending hurt and violence in this world,
even
as we prepare for the next.
In
the holy Name of Jesus. Amen.
