Benediction: Advent 3 C

Here’s a closing benediction inspired by the suggested scripture readings for the third Sunday of Advent (Year C).  It was written by Bruce Prewer.
 
Benediction
(inspired by Philippians 4:4-7, Isaiah 12:2-6)

With joy may you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
Amen!

The health of the living God is among you and within you.
Go out into the world buoyantly and boldly.
Thanks be to God!

The laughter of the saving Christ,
the cheerfulness of the lively Spirit,
and the joy of the everlasting God, be with you now and always.
Amen !
