Litany of Farewell

Good Christian people, I bid you now pray for the saving presence of our living God.

In this world: Christ is risen.

In the places where we live: Christis risen.

In our faith communities: Christis risen.

In this gathering: Christis risen.

In the hearts of all faithful people: Christis risen.

Today I especially bid you pray for Mary, who is leaving ourgroup, and for those of us who stay.

For expectations not met: Godhave mercy.

For grievances not resolved: Godhave mercy.

For wounds not healed: Godhave mercy.

For anger not dissolved: Godhave 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 weare 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.
