Paraenesis: A Benediction

May our God, who is holy, be with you. May his kindness lead you to repentance. May his presence lead to your openness. May the model of Jesus lead you to a life of character and virtue. And may his goodness, lead you to do good that you might be completely good. May you guard your minds and hearts against the lies of this world. And may you remember your calling in Christ Jesus to be holy as he is holy. And may you never ever turn from that. Go in peace. Amen.
