God, who created you in the divine image, sends you forth:

Jesus, who has redeemed you, has established the reign of God in our midst:
we go, to bring healing to the broken of the world.
The Holy Spirit, who calls you to be God’s people,

goes with you to many places:
we go, to tear down the walls that divide us,

and to build lives of hope for all of God’s children.
