Oh God, the Eternal Mother,
as you watch us bow our heads
then eat the bread and water,
does it hurt to remember
your Son’s bloody sweat in the garden
and his mangled body on the cross?
Do you rejoice to hear us promising
to always remember your Son,
even as we forget you?
Do you want us to forget?
Or are you the Spirit
who is always with us,
guiding and warning,
blessing and comforting,
teaching and reminding?
By promising to always
remember your Son,
do we invite you to always
be with us?
