Go with fullness
Go with comfort
Live with richness in God’s land.
Go with justice
Go with mercy
See your God, so close at hand.
Child, with Christ,
go work for peace.
In the struggle,
do not cease.
Be blessed, made holy,
Sent by One –
Creator, Spirit
and the Son.
In you,
may God’s blessing come.
With you,
may God’s blessing come.
Through you,
may God’s blessing come.
Amen! Amen! Amen!
The above text is based on a reading of the Beatitudes (Matthew 5)
“Blessed are those who are poor in spirit:
the kin-dom of heaven is theirs. 4 Blessed are those who are mourning:
they will be consoled. 5 Blessed are those who are gentle:
they will inherit the land. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice:
they will have their fill. 7 Blessed are those who show mercy to others:
they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are those whose hearts are clean:
they will see God. 9 Blessed are those who work for peace:
they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted
because of their struggle for justice:
the kindom of heaven is theirs. 11
