Muslims of the world, Hindus, Pagans, Wiccans and the indigenous

faiths; Buddhists and Jains, Zoroastrians and Sikhs, Jews,  

Christians, Bahai’s and Shintoists; those of every faith and 

persuasion; agnostics and atheists, all and everyone, please can we 

share this meal of unity, friendship and hope. 

Can we join our hearts and lives in common purpose to build a  

better world.

Can we turn our backs on the arguments and conflicts of the past

and join our hands and wills to protect, preserve and perpetuate life in all its

fullness.

**

We have offended our neighbours and ourselves,

We have wounded love’s grace

We have fallen short of our best.

We are sorry and ashamed.

May we experience forgiveness

And may we strive anew

To walk as children of the light.

**


Glory to Love in the purest

And peace to all forms of life

We praise

We bless

We adore

We glorify

We give thanks for all that is good

Love, justice, truth and peace

Kindness and mercy

Good people, from all ages

Faiths and cultures

Our inspiration and our light

Who take away the wrongs of the world

Embolden us

Who take away the evil of the world

Guide us

Who are held in the greatest respect

Inspire us

For you are to be revered

Honoured and remembered

Shining lights, urging goodness on

Through every generation.

**

We are alive. We are children of the earth. We lift our hearts in

thanks and praise.

We have discovered the grace of Love. We have seen acts of

kindness and goodness.

We have witnessed the inspiring and heroic actions of others.

We respect those who have played their part in seeking to

establish a world of justice and peace.

We bow our heads in honour of the brave and the true.

Praise, respect, glory and honour be to those who have

given their best and offered their all.

We give thanks for every good thing that we have received

For hope in times of despair

For light in seasons of darkness

For comfort in the valley of suffering

We give thanks for those who reach out to help and to rescue

The lost and the lonely

The poor and the homeless

The broken and the bereaved

As we gather together in the spirit of friendship and love

And pledge ourselves to work tirelessly for a better world

We remember all those who have suffered and suffer for the

Cause of righteousness.

We remember all those who have opened wide their hearts

and sacrificed their lives

Who have been tortured, imprisoned and murdered for noble ends,

whose flesh has been torn and whose blood has been spilt

that others might taste a sweeter future and know a brighter end.

We remember all those who have gathered with their family and

friends before their ordeal unfolded; who broke bread and who

drank in affection and solidarity.

In taking the bread and tearing it; in lifting the red juice and

pouring it, we join with them, partaking of their plight, identifying

with their suffering, pledging our commitment to work to realise

their dreams, that their suffering may not be in vain.

In sharing together the bread and the juice we are nourished by

their example and become one with them in the struggle of all

people to change this world for the better.

Therefore with this bread and this juice

we commemorate the suffering of the innocent.

May this meal of memories and this food and drink of love

open our eyes and set our hearts on fire

to unite with everyone that right may prevail.

**

May Love be revered

May Unity come

Good will be done

That earth may evolve into heaven

May we work hard today for our daily bread

And may our sins be forgiven

As we forgive those

Who have sinned against us

And may we not fall into temptation

But be delivered from evil

For we believe in justice, truth and peace

For ever and ever

**


NOW PLEASE RECEIVE THE BREAD AND JUICE OF LIFE AND LOVE

**
 
Nothing need ever defeat us, discourage or deter us.

Strengthened by this meal, the solidarity of the suffering and the

friendship of all those involved in the quest to achieve

peace and justice, we will proceed with unlimited reserves of hope,

love and forgiveness to make the dream of universal happiness and

freedom come true and may all that is good come to our

aid.
