*PRAYER
OF INVOCATION AND THE LORD’S PRAYER (unison)
Grant,
O Lord, that we may see in you the fulfillment of all our need, and may turn
from every false satisfaction to feed on the true and living bread which you
have given us in Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever and taught us to pray,
Our Father who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our
debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not
into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the
glory, forever. Amen.
