Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
“When you are invited to a wedding banquet,
do not sit down at the place of honor…
but go and sit down at the lowest place.”
—Luke 14. 8, 10
Lord,
I come to your table washed
of deserving, of measure,
of worth, but lovingly invited.
I take the lowest place
so that this day may be
pure gift, pure gift.
I take the lowest place because
I am here not to surpass my neighbors
but to love them.
I take the lowest place because
I wish to sit close to you,
where you always sit.
I take the lowest place
because I love to watch my bridegroom
search the room and come for me.
