Those few quiet moments following the reception of holy communion are precious. They are a time to close in so to speak and savour the moment as well as enjoy – in faith – the loving presence of God. It is like sitting motionless and quietly with the beloved, hand in hand, seeing with the mind’s eye a beautiful landscape. There is a special private prayer that I mull over at this point in the sacred liturgy and which is taken from the Anglican tradition:
Almighty God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual
food of the body and blood of your Son Jesus Christ. Through him we offer you
our souls and bodies to be a living sacrifice. Send us out in the power of your
Spirit to live and work to your praise and glory. Amen
