One: We come to this place with hungry hearts – hearts hungry for acceptance and for Love.
ALL: Outside, we sometimes feel as if we are as scattered as the grains; as broken as pieces of bread.
One: Come inside! Your name is on the guest list. Nobody is left out. We all are invited!
ALL: We’re all invited! We accept the invitation to celebrate, and to come just as we are.
One: Welcome to a banquet of joy! Welcome to a feast of Love!

Our Mother-Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
