Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Jeniffer Rodríguez

by Rev. Jeniffer Rodríguez Michel

We are in need of your touch Jesus of Nazareth
Our hearts are broken, our hearts are divided
Fill us physically and spiritually
With your presence

We are in need of your touch Jesus of Nazareth
Our communities are resistant, disconnected from each other
We can reconnect, your love unite us and heal us
Your touch transforms us

We are in need of your touch Jesus of Nazareth
We have stopped believing, we have lost our focus in you
In good times, in times not so good
Your presence comforts us, your power redeems us

May the powerful God almighty
Jesus Christ healer of excellence
The Holy Spirit, giver of a special touch
That can give us strength, sustenance and motivation
Be with us now and forever. Amen.

Necesitamos tu toque Jesús de Nazareth
Nuestros corazones están rotos y divididos
Llénanos física y espiritualmente
Con tu presencia

Necesitamos tu toque Jesús de Nazareth
Nuestras comunidades se resisten, desconectadas una de la otra
Podemos conectarnos, tu amor nos une y nos sana
Tu toque nos transforma

Necesitamos tu toque Jesús de Nazareth
Hemos dejado de creer, hemos perdido nuestro enfoque en ti.
En buenos tiempos, en tiempos no tan buenos
Tu presencia nos consuela, tu poder nos redime

Que Dios de poder
Jesucristo sanador por excelencia
El Espíritu Santo, dador de un toque especial
Nos de fuerzas, sustento y motivación
Hoy y Simple. Amén.
