Here is
a responsive commission and benediction inspired by John 21: 15-19. It was
written by Bruce Prewer.
Sending Out
(inspired by John 21: 15-19)
Christ
asks if we love him?
If we
say yes, he says; “Then care for one another.”
This is
our opportunity to make a difference, to live lovingly
on the
frontiers of his bright new world.
We
cannot promise to do it perfectly, but we can give it a go,
relying on
his abundant wisdom to take our small love,
and fit
it into a larger pattern of good for all creation.
May God
bless the world in which you move,
and bless
your home and bless your friends.
May God
bless the eyes with which you see,
and bless
the ears with which you listen.
May God
bless the way you use your hands,
bless the
way you employ your tongues. (From a Celtic prayer)
As a bonus
from the living God in Christ Jesus,
grace mercy
and peace will be yours, today and always.
Amen!
