Liturgy Writing 2, Requirement 2b
Write three prayers, one each for three of the following occasions (no minimum word count):
- a piacular offering
- lighting a sacrificial fire
- a meal blessing
- praise to accompany an offering
- remembering a recently-passed ancestor
- a blessing to end a ritual
A Prayer for Meal Blessing
This prayer was written when I realized I might need to say a multi-faith prayer for Thanksgiving dinner one year.
Within each of us burns a bright fire:
A fire of fellowship and community.
As we come together today,
Guest and host, family and friend,
Let each of these fires be magnified by the others
And bring us together in warmth and love.
