Dominican Blessing

May God the Creator bless us,
May God the Redeemer heal us,
May God the Holy Spirit enlighten us,

Give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and hands to do the work of God;

Feet to walk the path of justice, and mouths to preach the Good News.

May the angel of peace watch over us and lead us at last to the reign of God...

Amen.
(13th Century)
