Litany of Farewell
Good Christian people, let us now pray for the saving presence of
our living God.
In this world:Christ is risen.
In the places where we live: Christ is risen.
In our faith communities:Christ is risen.
In this gathering:Christ is risen.
In the online world:Christ is risen.
In the hearts of all faithful people:Christ is risen.
Today we pray for each other, as we leave this place, and go back to the work and play of our lives.
For expectations not met:God have mercy.
For grievances not resolved:God have mercy.
For wounds not healed:God have mercy.
For anger not dissolved:God have mercy.
For gifts not given:God have mercy.
For this portion of our lifelong pilgrimages which we have made together:Thanks be to God.
For friendships made, celebrations enjoyed, and moments of nurture:
Thanks be to God.
For wounds healed, expectations met, gifts given, promises kept:
Thanks be to God.
For trust and confidence shared; for times of good humor and moments of gentle leadership:.
Thanks be to God.
To continue the journey with new friends, new adventures, new gifts to give and receive:.
Go in peace.
To offer wisdom and experience, competence and compassion, in the ministries to which we are called:
Go in peace.
In faith, hope, and love:
Go in peace.
Your own prayers are invited at this time:
Now, we pray, be with us; and grant that all of us, by drawing ever nearer to you, may always be close to each other in the communion of your saints.
Amen.
