	Cross	"One thing have I asked of the Lord; one thing I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life." --Psalm 27:5
	Invitatory Bead	Grant me grace, O Lord, to serve you well.
	Cruciform Bead	These things I do, I do for love of you.
	Week Beads	Polishing the silver, I pray for clarity. Washing the fair linen, I pray for truth. Trimming the candles, I pray for new light. Setthing the Lord's table, I pray for guidance. Laying straight the frontal, I pray for peace. Counting out the wafers, I pray for strength. Pouring wine into cruets, I pray for forgiveness.
	Exit Cross	Most Holy Lord, I thank you that you have called me to serve you in the setting of your table. I pray that all who come to you for nourishment this day will be fed and strengthened and carried through their days in peace.  Amen.
