And the heavens
and the earth
and all their host
were finished.
And god finished
on the seventh day
the work
which he had done
and he stopped
on the seventh day
from all his work
that he had done
And god blessed
the seventh day
and he made it holy
because on it
he stopped
from all his work –
that is god created
(by making [it.])
Lord God,,
you feed us with the living bread from heaven;
you renew our faith,
increase our hope,
and strengthen our love.
Teach us to hunger
for Christ who is the true and living bread,
and to live by every word
that comes from your mouth,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
