Said in unison:

We have tasted your goodness, O God, in Christ our Savior.  In that name we come asking forgiveness.  We confess that we are greedy, while others go hungry.  The daily bread you give is not enough; we must indulge our appetites.  Our egos need feeding as well; we crave recognition and ignore our neighbors.  Show us once more that Christ is our cup and our portion; may we find in him our heart’s delight.
