God of glory,
you nourish us with bread from heaven.

Eternal God,
whose Son, Jesus Christ, is now exalted as Lord of all,
and pours out his gifts upon the Church:
grant it that unity which only your Spirit can give,
keep us in the bond of peace,
and bring all creation to worship before your throne;

who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
