We pray for all who work that others may be fed, for those who bring in the harvest of the land and the sea. We pray for those employed in processing and transport of food. Grant a more just distribution of the goods of the world. Lord, in your mercy … hear our prayer. Give to us, our families and friends, grateful hearts for all your bounty and a concern for the needs of others. Bless those who work to bring meals to the poor and infirm in this community. Lord, in your mercy … hear our prayer. We pray for all who are hungry and undernourished. We pray especially for the children whose health is damaged by lack of food. Bless those who work for the relief of famine. Lord, in your mercy … hear our prayer. We give thanks for the departed who have been gathered into your care… Grant them the joy of faith brought to fruition in your heavenly Kingdom. Lord, in your mercy … hear our prayer. We offer our prayers, desiring to be faithful labourers for the harvest of Christ’s Kingdom; through the same, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

infinite in mercy; he welcomes sinners and invites them to his table. Let us confess our sins, confident in God’s forgiveness.

Please maintain a prayerful silence. Celebrant Most merciful God, All we confess that we have sinned against you in

thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us, that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your name. Amen.
