A Collect to Bless Others

Lord God, who blesses us in deed day after day, fill our mouths with blessings for others, that we would wish well on those you have placed on our path and invoke your name for their good such that the world might be filled with love for one another, through Christ our savior who blessed us in word and deed and sat down at your right hand in the Holy Spirit forever. Amen.

‘But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back each of you to your mother’s house. May the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. The LORD grant that you may find security, each of you in the house of your husband.” Then she kissed them, and they wept aloud.’ – Ruth 1:8-9
