grace and peace be with you from God the Father and our liege-lord Jesus Christ

grace peace

the assurance of the inexhaustible exuberance and the indomitable presence of the wild and wooley Spirit of God

may the inhabitation of the God of all Comfort still your loneliness and dwell in your fears

may the dogged persistent silent presence of the Master potter bring you to tearful surrender in darkness when there is nothing but frenzied clawing fear

may courage gird you up in dark places

may you know the Shepherd carrying you when you know nothing else
