A Sacred Benediction

Here’s the benediction I gave after closing worship for the retreat I led on “Sacred and Social”:

May sacred times free you for God’s service

May sacred places set you in God’s peace

May sacred objects anchor you for God’s presence

May sacred activities place you in God’s hands

May sacred people you challenge and comfort you in God’s grace.

May the sacred in your life increase
and be filled with the holy God
overflowing into the world,

For we are blessed to be a blessing.  Amen

 

Sacred And Social
