The Sharing of the MealPrayer after the Meal Generous and faithful God, you have fed us at your table. May the nourishment we have received enable us to enrich the lives of others wherever we may go from here. Whether the future is dark or bright, the road smooth or rough, whether our cares are light or heavy, our singing strong or weak, God, keep our hearts warm and our hands open, as we are enfolded in the strong embrace of your great love. Amen
