Thank you, O God, that we do not walk this road alone.
O Lord, make us ever mindful of one another.
Thank you, O God, for the mercy and the beauty incarnated in the words and acts of these your people, extended one toward another.
Let us therefore go forth and steward one another’s stories.
Grant, O Lord, that we might take our leave of one another now, feeling a right joy for the blessings of the hours we have shared, even as we feel a bright and and hopeful sorrow at their close.
By your Spirit, O Christ, make us faithful in the meanwhile.
Be present in our journeys.
Be present in our works and in our words and in our hearts.
