LEADER: The eyes of all look hopefully to you, life-giving God,
to give them food in due season.

LEADER: Our God is near to all who call out with sincere hearts.
ALL: Feed us and preserve us as one Body in one Spirit, in communion with the one God, one faith, and all the baptized through whom one God works, over all and in all. Amen.
SING or say: “I Am the Bread of Life.”
I am the bread of life.
You who come to me
shall not hunger.
You who believe in me
shall not thirst.
No one can come to me
unless the Father beckons.
And I will raise you up.
And I will raise you up.
And I will raise you up
on the last day.
LEADER: Christ among us has blessed our lives, our daily bread.
ALL: We shall eat and there will be some left over.
Break and share the bread.
LEADER: Let us go forth to lead a life worthy of the calling we have received, making every effort to preserve the unity which has the Spirit as its origin.
ALL: As the hand of God feeds us, may we go forth as broken bread to share our lives.
