Day Three

Prayers for the Day

A Reading from the Prophet Isaiah.

Oh, come to the water all you who are thirsty; though you have no money, come! Take and eat, come, drink wine and milk without money, free! Why spend money on what cannot nourish and your wages on what fails to satisfy? Listen carefully to me and you will have good things to eat and rich food to enjoy. Pay attention, come to me: listen, and you will live. For as the rain and snow come down from the sky and do not return before having watered the earth and making it germinate to provide seed for the sower and food to eat, so it is with my word: it will not return to me unfulfilled or before having achieved what it was sent to do.


This is the Word of the Lord.

Opening Prayer:

Lord Jesus Christ,
You gave us the Eucharist
As the memorial of your suffering and death.
May our worship of the sacrament of your body and blood
Lead us to the joy of the Kingdom,
Where you live with Father and the Holy Spirit,
One God for ever and ever.

Prayer over the Gifts:

Lord,
May the bread and cup we offer
bring your Church the unity and peace they signify.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

Concluding Prayer:

Lord Jesus Christ,
You give us your body and blood in the Eucharist
As a sign that even now we share your life.
May we come to possess it completely in the Kingdom
Where you live for ever and ever.
