Go now in the comfort and peace of the One who gave birth to us.
Go in the assurance that the Comforter is with us always.
Go to give comfort and peace to others.
Divine Wisdom guide us as we go forth on Her paths of peace.
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you:
wherever he may send you:
may he guide you through the wilderness:
protect you through the storm:
may he bring you home rejoicing:
at the wonders he has shown you:
may he bring you home rejoicing:
once again into our doors.

May God bless you with anger at injustice,
oppression and exploitation of people
so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears
to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger and war
so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them
and turn their pain to joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference in the world
so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.
