Closing Prayer:
Holy One of love and compassion, just as you called Mary of Magdala, you also call us by our baptism to go forth and tell the Good News. We answer you as people who are often unsure of our desire to be so embraced. Guide us closer to you and to each other. Strengthen us in our baptismal vocations. Build us into the reign of God, and seal us with the Spirit of your promise. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our teacher and our Lord. Amen.
