Adapted from one of John Calvin's, in honor of Reformation Day:
Heavenly Father, by Your goodness You invite us now to receive these holy signs of our peace and reconciliation with You. Your Son Jesus, who died for us, calls to Himself all those who labor and are heavy laden, You will surely not reject Your servants who beg Your grace and seek salvation and life in the death of Jeuss Christ. Now therefore lift our hearts to You; give us Your Holy Spirit. Grant us grace to approach this table with humble repentance and a thirsty soul that desires Your grace. Strengthen our faith so that, in receiving by hand these visible signs, we may receive by faith the broken body of Jesus Christ and His blood, shed for us as the nourishment of eternal life.
