The Beloved Blessing

from the Beloved’s Vow

And now, Beloved of God, May the welcome of God
Open our doors to the stranger

May the story of God
Be remembered in our life’s unfolding novel

May the presence of God
Be a healing celebration in our souls

May the gift of God
Be loosely held in our outstretched hands

Through the love of our Beloved Christ,
Let it be.

(The response of the people are in bold)
