Here’s a closing commission and benediction inspired
by the suggested scripture readings for Proper 17C (especially Hebrews 13:1-8,
15-16). It was written by Bruce Prewer.
Sending
for Proper 17C
It’s
time to go.
Time to re-engage with the secular world.
Time
to put the faith into deeds .
Time to practice uncalculating love.
Time
to meet the Christ who waits for you.
Time to share his boundless hope.
You
can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
With
the blessing of God, in your mind and heart, let
each morning
be a joy to you,
each path
be a joy to you,
each neighbour
be a joy to you.
Now
and always..
Amen!
