Commission and Benediction
(inspired by John 20:21-22)
Jesus said: “Peace be with you.
As the Father sent me, so I am now sending you”.
He believes in you. The busy world awaits your compassion.
God
believes in us.
Sometimes you will give your best yet fail.
God
believes in us
At other times you will succeed in spite of your stumbling.
God
believes in us
Go gladly, daring to succeed or fail to the glory of God,
and then at
the very end, nothing shall dismay you.
God
believes in us
With
Christ’s own breath within us, we shall travel well.
The help of the saving Christ,
the wisdom of
the Living God,
and the
support of the loving Spirit,
will be with you
every step of
the way, now and always.
Amen!
