Benediction (St. Patrick's Breastplate)
And now may the Spirit of God, whose love is eternal,
Be within us to refresh us,
Above us to bless us,
Around us to protect us,
Beneath us to hold us up,
And before us to lead us on.
One God, world without end. AMEN
A Sending Forth
O God, you have published your faithfulness throughout the pages of our history and especially in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, the Christ. Help us now to publish your Word in our lives through the Wisdom you give us in the Spirit of Truth. AMEN.
