A Eucharist Prayer

April Bumgardner

A responsive reading of Psalm 80:5 and John 6:32-35

To focus our thoughts on the elements and the family of God, as the spiritual and the physical, and to recognize we do not hold them at odds with one another.

Almighty God, we are famished even in the abundance of our lives. We search for the bread only you can provide. We thirst even with running water at arm’s reach. Open our eyes to see and our hearts to crave your food and your drink. Help us to rightly love the wheat of the field, the friend at our side, and your Son at the table that we may not divide them in our thoughts, but taste your goodness and be nourished by his body. Through the body of Christ we are filled and satisfied. Amen.
