Blessed are you, Lord God of All creation.
Blessed are you, Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit, the principal agent of mission.
May your Kingdom of justice, peace, love and forgiveness be established in every land.

Comfort the lonely and give new life to all.
Be our companion on the road and help us to make your mission alive in our community and throughout the world.
