Leader: We join a solemn journey of three days that has changed the world and our own lives. Followers of Jesus have been taking this journey since his first followers took it, long ago.
All: This is the night of love.
(pause)
Leader: On this night Jesus took a towel and basin, and washed his disciples’ feet. On this night he told them to do the same for others to show their love for him and for one another.
All: This is the night of love, for everyone born.
(pause)
Leader: On this night, Jesus broke bread and shared wine with his followers for the last time, and invited them to remember him, to encounter him anew, whenever they did the same.
All: This is the night of love, for everyone born, who have a place at the table.
(pause)
Leader: On this night, followers of Jesus have welcomed those who have returned to the way of Jesus after a time of wandering and a journey of returning.
All: This is the night of love, for everyone born who can be creators of justice, joy, compassion and peace.
(pause)
Leader: This is the night of love and so, on this night, we welcome the penitent –
All: all here have wandered,
Leader: and invite all who are seeking,
All: all here are still learning,
Leader: to join us in hearing and obeying the commandment of our Master and to feast at his table,
All: that we may love one another as he has loved us.
Leader: Come, ye sinners. Come, ye thirsty. Come, ye weary.
All: Come to the night of love, for everyone born.
