Communion Prayer: Treasure the Signs of Reconciliation

O Lord, our God, we give you thanks
for uniting us by baptism in the body of Christ
and for filling us with joy in the eucharist.

Lead us toward the full visible unity of your church,
and help us to treasure all the signs of reconciliation you have granted us.
Now that we have tasted the banquet
you have prepared for us in the world to come,
may we all one day share together
the inheritance of the saints in the life of the heavenly city.

Through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
ever one God, world without end. Amen.
