We have come to the last meal of this day,
to our supper meal.
Let us be mindful of how our Lord,
at such a meal as this,
washed his friends’ feet
in an act of holy service.
As this food is about to serve us as nourishment,
may we also serve one another.
May the seal of God’s love rest upon this food
and upon this day now drawing to a close.
May we and our gifts of food
be under the tent of God’s peace.
– Edward Hays
