Today we return to You, and we ask You to renew in us the hope that comes from the gospel. Thank you for loving us and sustaining us. In Jesus, our living hope, Amen *Pastoral Benediction: May the wind of the Spirit guide you, may the fire of his love illuminate you, may the grace of God sustain you, now and always.
