We used this call to gathering from
the Iona Community at Morning Communion.
It touched us.
Gather us
in,
the lost
and the lonely,
the broken
and breaking,
the tired
and the aching
who long
for the nourishment
found at
your feast
Gather us
in
the done
and the doubting,
the
wishing and wondering,
the
puzzled and pondering
who long
for the company
found at
your feast.
Gather us in
Gather us in
the proud
and pretentious,
the sure
and superior,
the never
inferior,
who long
for the levelling
found at
your feast.
Gather us in
the bright
and the bustling,
the
stirrers, the shakers,
the kind
laughter makers
who long
for the deeper joys
found at
your feast.
Gather us in
from
corner or limelight,
from
mansion or campsite,
from fears
and obsession,
from tears
and depression,
from
untold excesses,
from
treasured successes,
to meet,
to eat,
be given a
seat,
be joined
to the vine,
be offered
new wine,
become
like the least,
be found
at the feast. ©
