1. Communion Prayer
Be a gardener, dig and ditch, toil and sweat,
and turn the earth upside down
and seek the deepness
and water the plants in time.
Continue this labor and make sweet floods
to run and noble and abundant fruits
to spring. Take this food and drink
and carry it to God as your true worship.
- JULIAN of NORWICH

2. A Prayer for The People of God
God of the living,
through baptism we pass
from the shadow of death
to the light of the resurrection.
Remain with us and give us hope
that, rejoicing in the gift of the Spirit
who gives life to our mortal flesh,
we may be clothed with the garment of
immortality, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

9. The Semi-Circle

10. Still and quiet your soul
Put your hope in the Lord
Forevermore
Still and quiet your soul
Put your hope in the Lord
Forevermore

11. Peace He will give you,
But not as this world
He will never leave you,
Or forsake you in this world
Draw near to him,
He'll draw near to you
and he'll purify your heart
He's the same today,
and yesterday
and forevermore

12. Christ Canticle
Christ, as a light
illumine and guide me.
Christ, as a shield
overshadow me.
Christ under me;
Christ over me;
Christ beside me
on my left and my right.

13. Christ Canticle
This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Be in the heart of each to whom
I speak; in the mouth of each
who speaks unto me.
This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek,
yet all-powerful.

14. Christ Canticle
Christ as a light;
Christ as a shield;
Christ beside me
on my left and my right.

15. Blessing
May the peace
of the Lord Christ go with you,
wherever he may send you.
May he guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May he bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders he has shown you.
May he bring you home rejoicing
once again into our doors.
Amen.
