Paraclete: A Benediction

And now, may you be unveiled. May you go unveiled. May you see with new eyes—eyes of the Spirit. And may you, like the Father, be deeply moved by the suffering you see, as well as the joy. May you, like the Son, empty yourself for the good of God’s people, especially his church. And may you, like the Spirit, be self-effacing, allowing your thoughts, emotions, words, and deeds to turn any focus away from you and toward the Father and Son. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, go in peace making peace. Amen.
