All: Risen Christ, you know our deepest secrets; you know our fear-filled doubts; you know our darkest hours. Breathe strength and faith into us in our moments of secret fear. Grant us the grace to know your presence and to trust your promises. Reclaim us as your disciples. Reconcile us with your love, that we may be one with you and one with each other. In your holy name, we pray. Amen.

Go now in peace. Never be afraid.
