Indigenous Prayer After Communion

 Prayer After Communion                             from the Liturgy of St. John’s, Red Lake, MN

Presider      Let us pray. 

All              Jesus Christ, our Leader, our Brother, 

YOU are Son of the Creator.

Today we became your children; 

today we became your grandchildren. 

We will live as you have taught us. 

We will follow your commandments. 

Watch over us. 

Speak to us from the trees, from the grass and herbs, from the breeze, from the passing rain, from the passing thunder and the deep waters. 

Before us there is beauty, behind us there is beauty. 

Allow us to walk a long life in happiness completed in beauty. AMEN.
