概要
- A closing prayer is spoken to God for the congregation; a benediction is a blessing spoken over the people in God’s name, often in the words of Scripture.
- Nine short closing prayers cover keeping the sermon, being sent out to serve, strength and temptation, peace and hope, thanks, unity, guidance, boldness and a safe journey home.
- Traditional closing prayers are quoted from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer (the collect for “the words which we have heard this day,” “Direct us, O Lord,” the Prayer of St. Chrysostom and the Grace), the Orthodox Divine Liturgy’s prayer “O Lord, who blessest those who bless thee,” and the 1888 Catholic 『祈りの手引書』.
- Scripture benedictions include Numbers 6:24–26, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Hebrews 13:20–21, Jude 24–25, Romans 15:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:16 and Ephesians 3:20–21.
- 古フランス語の背後にあるラテン語の missa first meant “dismissal” and later named the Mass itself, according to the 1910 Catholic Encyclopedia.
- Anglican, Catholic and Orthodox services keep the final blessing for a priest or bishop; a lay leader can pray a benediction for “us” instead of “you.”
