Blessing for the Family Meal

Bless us, Lord, and the food we are about to eat. May our love

for one another, and the food we share, strengthen us to

share your love with others. Amen.

Week Four—Lord of Compassion

Blessed are you, Lord of Compassion.

You feel the pain of those in need

And take their suffering upon yourself.

Help us to identify more with those in need,

In our neighborhoods and throughout the world,

And to do our part to ease the burdens they bear.

All: Lord, hear us and keep us in your love.
