Beloved
and cheerished boat. Dearly, we love you as our home and trust
you our lifes. Take this as a blessing.
We bless
you to be in favour of the four winds, may the holy spirit
fill your sails and protect your passengers, loadings and
equipment at all time with the power of Christ.
May you
spread fire and hope, friendship and peace whereabouts you
sail.
May your
anchors always be grounded firmly having a save bay to stay
and may you avoid dangerous shallows with security. We bless
you to be home and comfort, our shelter, adventure and exploration.
May you cut te waves in the seven seas of the world. But may
you find your way to a save harbour in the fog. Blessed arts
thou to be a shelter for shipwrecked and bring food to the
starving.
May your
mast be an iron tower and your ropes tough like chains. May
your hull be annointed with stability and speed. May your
navigational instruments sound the wright depth and sense
the wright wind.
May your
crew be filled with devine wisdom and advice but above all,
god, let your presence navigate crew, skipper and captain.
May God's hand hold you in times of trouble.
May you
have always a handspan of waters or other beverages under
your kiel.
May you
be a vessel for the purpose of the saints and their master
alone. May you anchor in the waters of love an peace.May you
explore wild waters until Jesus comes back.
We bless
you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
We baptize you. And your name shalt be...AFTERBLUE.
