Liturgy of the Eucharist (10:44) 

      Preparation of the Gifts: “Gifts”

    What are these gifts, these gifts that we bring,
    These gifts that we bring to each other?
    What are these gifts that we have to share,
    O, my sisters and brothers?
    Eyes to see, fingers to feel, strength to change and time to heal.
    These are the gifts that we bring to each other,
    O, my sisters and brothers.
    How can we use these gifts that we bring,
    These gifts that we bring to each other?
    How can we use all the gifts we’ve to share,
    O, my sisters and brothers?
    See the pain, feel the wound, change our hearts, heal the wound.
    Thus may we use all the gifts that we bring,
    O, my sisters and brothers.
    Then let us share the gifts that we bring,
    The gifts that we bring to each other.
    Then let us share all the gifts that we bring,
    O, my sisters and brothers.
    See the joy, feel the touch. change the hate with love’s healing touch,
    As we share the gifts with each other,
    O, my sisters and brothers.

    Communion Rite

      Paternoster: “Our Father”

      We come to Thee, O Lord, in despair and in desolation.
      Lead us from iniquity.
      Help us to flow’r in the radiance of the light of Thy truth,
      As flowers in the garden of our faith.

    Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
    Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heav’n.

      Give us this day our daily bread,
      And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
      Lead us not into temptation,
      But O Lord, in Thy mercifulness, by Thy grace,
      From evil deliver us.

      Oh Lord, be merciful. Grant us deliverance.

    For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory
    Forever, and ever. Amen.

    Meditation: “In the Quiet Of the Day”

    In the quiet of the day, the call of our passion we obey;
    Look within in contemplation of God’s grace.

    In the quiet of the day, let the light of compassion lead the way;
    Look within in contemplation of God’s face … .

    In the quiet of the day.

      Anthem: “It Seems To Me”

    It seems to me that you and I could change the world together;
    We could make it better by being truly who we are.
    It seems to me, together, we could learn to love a stranger,
    Nullify the danger that confronts us near and far.

    It seems to me, if we could see the wounds that must be healed,
    We’d move our hearts to yield the compassion that they bear.
    It seem to me the earth could be a garden filled with laughter,
    To blossom ever after with a beauty all could share.

    At night I dream, and in my dream above the hills I’m flying;
    Tears of joy I’m crying from the depth of love I feel.
    As I descend a hand I lend to one whose fingers fashion
    Understanding and compassion, with a touch that surely heals.

    And, in the end I find, my friend, ‘tis you, my sister/brother.
    We find in each other strength we need to carry on.
    And in your eyes I realize the joy I find in living.
    Now, in wonder and thanksgiving I arise to greet the dawn!

    And, in the end I find, my friend, ‘tis you, my sister/brother.
    We find in each other strength we need to carry on.
    And in your eyes I realize the joy I find in living.
    Now, in wonder and thanksgiving I arise to greet the dawn,
    arise to greet the dawn, arise to greet the dawn!

    Peace and love be with you all;
    Grace divine bestow upon you
    As you go forth to live and to serve in truth.
