Read out Loud
In the Days of Mordechai and Esther, in Shushan, the capital, when Haman, the wicked, rose up against them and sought to destroy, to slay, and to exterminate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, on the same day, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their possessions; But You, in Your abundant mercy, nullified his counsel and frustrated his intention and caused his design to return upon his own head and they hanged him and his sons on the gallows he intended for Mordechai.
Special Prayer
Compassionate One,
all our lacks and needs are revealed and known before You.
Behold, the time is right for You to redeem us,
to grace us, to have compassion on us,
in the fullness of Your mercy and the infiniteness of Your love.
Truly You are gracious and compassionate,
and Your way is to bestow Your love freely.
You therefore act charitably towards all flesh and spirit.
O Good One, don’t ever let Your mercies fail us.
O Compassionate One, never stop showering us with Your love.

Drink this, all of you,
for this is my blood of the new covenant
which is shed for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins;
do this as often as you drink it,
to remember me.
Glory to you , Lord Christ;
your death we show forth;
your resurrection we proclaim;
your coming we await;
I walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
I will lift up the cup of Salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
Amen! Come Lord Jesus!
Pass round the glass of wine for everyone to have a sip.

Grace
Grace is usually said AFTER the meal.
Let us say grace.
Blessed are you LORD our God, master of the Universe
Who nourishes the whole world in goodness, with grace kindness and compassion.
He gives bread to all flesh, for his mercy endures forever.
And through his great goodness we have never lacked,
nor will we lack food for ever, for the sake of his great Name.
For he is God who nourishes and sustains all, and does good to all,
and prepares food for all his creatures, which he created.
Blessed are you Lord who nourishes all.
Amen.
