COMMISSION & BLESSING

Go now, and live in the spirit of your baptism, even when you are led into wild and hard places. With repentance and trust, give yourselves to God, and with fasting and prayer, strengthen yourselves against the ways of the tempter.
The blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, be among us, and remain with us always.

Go now as servants of God, work together with God, go in the peace and love of God. Amen
