Receive Our Prayer [P.O.F]

"Receive Our Prayer" is a gentle, earnest choral response perfectly suited for the Prayer of the Faithful or the preparation of the gifts. Written by Sixtus Bantus, the piece is brief but deeply expressive, carrying the congregation's petitions to the altar with a spirit of humility.

The lyrics, "Lord we have come to you bearing gifts of love," beautifully bridge the gap between our spoken intercessions and the physical offering of the Mass. It is the kind of short, repeating antiphon that a choir can easily lead, allowing the whole church to join in the prayer without needing to look down at a hymnbook.

Choirs will find the four-part harmony straightforward to teach and natural to sing, making it an excellent recurring response during Sunday worship. Its quiet reverence helps settle the congregation, drawing everyone into a shared moment of petition before the Liturgy of the Eucharist begins.
