Litany for the journey

[Optional – responses in bold italic]

Take up your pack… Go forth into the world.  Know that you are loved.

In the wilderness or the city, in slavery or promised land, our needs are met—more than we could need.

Water gushes from the rock—for you.
Manna falls in abundance—for you.

The seas part, walls fall down, milk and honey flow—for you.
Cloud and fire go with you.
In bondage or freedom, in settlement or wandering—

Go in grace,
Go in joy,
Go in peace.

Amen
