A graduating benediction
I was asked to offer a final benediction as the KCML November block course finished in Friday. It was a final gathering for our Year 2 graduating interns. It was a return to placements for our Year 1 interns. It was the end of a complex blockcourse, one that was ever changing and with multiple external demands for the staff team.
A benediction: Ma te hurihuru ka rere te manu. A Maori proverb that means “With feathers the bird will fly”
Year twos
With Spirit’s wind under your wings
Spirit’s fire in your mouth
Spirit’s warmth in your heart
Year ones
May Jesus’ feelings guide you
Jesus’ prayer sustain you
Jesus’ compassion embrace you and your family
Staff and all of us,
In order that Creators abundance may astound us
Creators diversity enliven us
Creators power make in and through us all things new
Ma te hurihuru ka rere te manu
