Benediction for the Struggle - Rev. Jay

Closing Words in service 05/25/25

"Go now, not in search of conflict,
but with the courage to face it when justice demands.

Go not with hate in your heart,
but with the hope that peace can yet be born.

Go knowing that love is not always soft,
and peace is not always passive.

Go knowing that your faith calls you
to build a world where dignity cannot be crushed,
and where evil does not get the final word.

May you walk gently, speak truthfully, and act boldly,
in the name of peace—and the justice that makes it real."
