As
you go from here,
may
God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord
give
you grace, mercy, and peace.
Do
not let your faith or your witness grow cold.
Remember:
God’s gift of faith is like a flame;
when
the embers of that flame have cooled,
you
must fan them again to keep them ablaze.
So
remember what you have been taught
and
what you have experienced.
Live
in such a way that all who know you
may
see the light of God reflected in you.
And
may the grace of God,
the
love of Jesus Christ,
and
the presence of the Holy Spirit
be
with you and among you
in
the days ahead. Amen.
