The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. -2 Corinthians 13:11-13

This blessing ends Paul’s second letter to the Christians in Corinth. The words he wrote have blessed countless others through the years. We will hear them again on Sunday, at the end of the second lesson.

Blessings are not wishes. They are invocations of power and authority. Blessings, in our tradition, trace the Trinity, because God is known in scripture and experience in these three aspects: creator, redeemer and sanctifier.
