May the word of God strengthen our hearts. Amen. May God bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. We Go Forth A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (15:26-16:1) Jesus said to his disciples: “I will send you the Spirit who comes from the Father and shows what is true. The Spirit will help you and will tell you about me. Then you will also tell others about me, because you have been with me from the beginning. I am telling you this to keep you from being afraid.” The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. We Respond Let us pray that everything we do will be guided by God’s law of love. (pause) God our Father, you have promised to remain for ever with those who do what is right. Help us to be welcoming and accepting of others. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
