OF THE CROSS
Daniel Keeran, Victoria, Canada
LOVE AND
NONVIOLENCE
Lets pray:
For the Bread
God, give us grace and mercy to forgive as we have been
forgiven, to love as we have been loved. Thank you for this bread
that reminds us of the suffering love of Jesus who loved us and
gave himself for us and offered forgiveness even while we were
offending him. Teach us your love, your compassion, your
gentleness, your caring and concern even for those who offend
us. In Jesus name. Amen.
For the Cup
Lord, thank you for this cup that reminds us of the blood of Christ
that forgives our sins. Give us courage to forgive and love one
another as you have forgiven and loved us. In the name of the
Way, the Truth, and the Life. Amen.
