Walking the talk blessing

May God the maker bless you:
God who speaks words of freedom and justice,
God who walks what he talks forever.
May God bless you,
with hope.

May Jesus the teacher bless you:
Jesus who speaks of Good News for poor people,
Jesus who talks and does the business.
May Jesus bless you,
with truth.

May God the Holy Spirit bless you:
the Holy Spirit who speaks in fire and stillness,
the Holy Spirit who dances what she announces.
May the Holy Spirit bless you,
with joy.

May you walk and talk with God
who love you forever,
every step of your journey
every moment of your life.

Amen.
