Prayer for the Dedication of an Altar

May this altar be a sign of Christ

from whose pierced side flowed blood and water,

which ushered in the sacraments of the Church.

Make it a table of joy,

where the friends of Christ may hasten

to cast down their burdens and cares

and take up their journey restored.

Make it a place of communion and peace

so that those who share the body and blood of your Son

may be filled with his Spirit and grow in your life of love.

Make it a source of unity and friendship,

where your people may gather as one

to share your spirit of mutual love.

Make it the centre of our praise and thanksgiving

until we arrive at the eternal tabernacle,

where, together with Christ, high priest and living altar,

we will offer you an everlasting sacrifice of praise.

Amen.
