The last morning of the Assembly

As we gathered to begin our final day this morning, we prayed together:

"During the last supper, Jesus became a servant to his disciples. May we follow Jesus' example of servanthood and bless one another in humility.

For the leaders of the world, that they may put aside their differences and seek the peace of Christ, we pray: Have mercy on us.

For the Church, that we serve one another with a humility which sets aside hierarchies of power, we pray: Have mercy on us.

Release us from the curse of stigma and labels that cast out the unnacceptable, we pray: Have mercy on us.

Deliver us from all that separates us from the love of Christ, we pray: Have mercy on us.

That we may long for the day when all may feast at the table of our Lord, when no one will be an outsider, and all will be loved, we pray: Have mercy on us."
