- Thank you, Lord, because at the last supper you broke your bread and wine, to satisfy our hunger and our thirst.
- Thank you, Lord, because in the Eucharist you make us one with you, you unite us to your life, to the extent that we are willing to give ours…
- Thank you, Lord, because in bread and wine you give us your life and fill us with your presence.
- Thank you, Lord, because you wanted to celebrate your delivery, around a table with your friends, so that they could be a community of love.
- Bless our dinner, Lord; bless our most fragile and sick brothers with whom today we feel especially united; May fraternity illuminate hope for them.
