Come, O Lord, and set a table where the weary pilgrims rest. Pour the promise that can save us; break the everlasting bread. When our hands are all but empty, turn our morsels to a meal; multiply them with your blessing to a feast that never fails. Let our hearts become your dwelling by the bread that you provide; change our spirits into wellsprings running to eternal life. Not from us but from your mercy come the riches of the feast, for the hungry and the thirsty, for the last and for the least. Not to us or to our working, to our will or to our pride, but to you we give the glory for the feast that you provide. Take the little we can offer, take the loaves and take the fish: Feed our souls and feed our bodies with the bounty of your gifts.
