You Lord are the bread of life;
feed us with your wisdom.
Our nourishment is to do God’s will;
guide us in all we do
Whenever we eat or drink
Let it be to the glory of the kingdom of God.
When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest; you shall leave them for the poor and for the alien: I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 23:22
A reading from Luke 1: 49-53
The Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
Her mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
She has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
She has brought down the powerful from their thrones,
and lifted up the lowly;
She has filled the hungry with good things,
and sent the rich away empty.
A response based on verses from Psalm 68
Sing to God, sing praises to the one
who has ascended to Heaven.
Rejoice aloud!
May your kingdom come
on Earth as in Heaven.
Hear the words of our King:
To the orphaned, be as good parents.
To the widowed, be as loving siblings.
May your kingdom come
on Earth as in Heaven.
Hear the words of our King:
For the homeless, provide a place of safety,
For the prisoner, a place of freedom.
May your kingdom come
on Earth as in Heaven.
Hear the words of our King:
Where rain is scarce, ensure live-giving water,
Where the soil is depleted, refresh its wellbeing.
May your kingdom come
on Earth as in Heaven.
Hear the words of our King:
For the poor, provide positions of value,
For the hungry, provide a place at the table .
May your kingdom come
on Earth as in Heaven.
Hear the words of the King:
For all who seek wisdom, make known the Gospel
For all who seek peace, make known the love of God.
May your kingdom come
on Earth as in Heaven.
Amen.
