Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Jeniffer Rodríguez

by Rev. Jeniffer Rodríguez Michel

There are a lot of things we need to endure. We do not know how

There is hope for a better world. Let’s go out in confidence
Today is a good day and tomorrow is going to be better
Let’s go out and be present

There is love and not everybody can see it or feel it
Today is a good day to share love for the ones we know and we do not know.
Let’s go out to share love

There is faith, our faith. That’s the reason we believe
Today is a good day to find guidance from the Holy Spirit
Let’s go out trusting in the grace of God

There is something we know for sure:

The Love of God
The hope that constantly Jesus Christ taught us is alive
And the guidance of the Holy Spirit
Be with all of us now and forever. Amen.

Hay muchas cosas a las que tenemos que resistir. No sabemos cómo

Hay esperanza para un mundo mejor. Vayamos en confianza
Hoy es un buen día  y mañana será mucho mejor
Salgamos y estemos presentes.

Hay amor y no todo el mundo puede verlo o sentirlo
Hoy es un buen día para compartir amor con los que conocemos y no conocemos
Salgamos a compartir amor.

Hay fe, nuestra fe. Hay una razón por la que creemos
Hoy es un buen día para encontrar guía del Espíritu Santo
Salgamos confianza en la gracia de Dios

Hay algo que sabemos con certeza:

El amor de Dios
La esperanza que constantemente Jesucristo nos ha enseñado sigue viva
Y la guía del Espíritu Santo
Esté con todos/as nosotros/as ahora y siempre. Amén.
