Part of our Prayer of Apostleship

May we who have been your guests at this communion reveal your life to all the world. May we be no longer your servants, but know your will and be your friends. You give us your life, may we be worthy of it; you give us yourself, may we embody  you. We ask this in your name.

Amen

Amen
