To be blessed as we leave worship and go out into the world is a lovely moment. Whether that blessing is short (Go in peace) or long (The Lord bless you and keep you…), ancient or composed in the moment, it brings a graceful conclusion to a sacred, heart-felt time and paints a word picture that can last. This week’s resources are benedictions from across the country. Try them, or better yet, write your own!
May God’s peace rest upon us;
May God’s great love reach to every heart;
Go into the seething cauldron of the world.
Listen for the questions and voices
that you would rather not hear.
When beauty illumines a corner of your life, may your thanks to God spread that light through your whole being.
