Maundy Thursday, Collect (Redub)

God, one and three,

you invite us to sit at your table,

in your perfect community of love.

You prepare a meal of solidarity for the nations.

You lay out a feast in the face of death.

You promise a peaceable place for all creatures.

May we taste and see all that you have in store for us.

May we always proclaim your loving, dying and living.

Amen.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a redub.
