send, come and empower us

12-sent2-by-2
Jesus Sends the 72 Disciples, James Tissot

God the Sender, send us.
God the Sent, come with us.
God the Strengthener of those who go,
   empower us,
   that we may go with you
   and find those who will call you
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Welsh Prayer

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

“When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ “
