May God the Father, who made us, bless us. May God the Son, who redeemed us, send healing into our midst. May God the Holy Spirit, who gives us life, move within us. 1
May God give us eyes to see to God, ears to hear God, and hands to bring God’s work into the world.2
May we walk with God and preach the word of God to all. May the angel of peace watch over us and lead us at last by God’s grace to the eternal Kingdom. Amen.3
