Prayer by Jonathan Montaldo

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I unite myself with those who gather in your name

to receive the sacrament of your body and blood.

You have made me one with you and with them

by the power of your Holy Spirit.

Unworthy, I am called to your servant and your hospitality.

I shall gratefully sit and eat.
