Giver of all good gifts, especially of your child, Jesus, we thank you for gathering us around this table of plenty. Bless us as we share this meal. Bless this food and our conversation; let both be nourishing for us. Let every meal be a reminder of you, Word made flesh, one who was needy like us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Litany of Thanks:
 
            For the gift of your child, Jesus,

For our awareness of the poor,
For the gift of family and friends,
