The Greeting
People of God, the Lord of glory,
Jesus Christ, sends his greeting to you.
And his greeting is this:
Grace to you and peace
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
through the working of the Holy Spirit.
This is the greeting of Christ,
who arose from the grave.
He died and rose
that we might have eternal life.
All thanks be to him!
This same Christ has ascended to the Father.
He ascended that we might experience
God's presence and power.
All praise be to him!
