Blessing
Go in peace,
be very courageous,
hold on to what is good,
do not return evil for evil,
strengthen the faint-hearted,
support the weak,
help the afflicted,
honor all people,
love and serve the Lord,
rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit;
and the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you always. Amen.
