Closing Benediction
May the Lord make your words a source of life and peace, bringing grace to those around you as Christ has first spoken grace to you.
May He strengthen your hands to faithfully care for all He has entrusted to you, rejecting complacency, and embracing the good work before you.
May He surround you with friendships that sharpen your faith, and fill your heart with mercy that forgives as you have been forgiven.
And when you fall short, may you not trust in your own wisdom, but abide in Christ, the One who is your wisdom, your righteousness, and your peace.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
