"Blessed be God."
With a gradual rumble sounded the response rolling heavily through the chapel:
"Blessed be God."

"Blessed be His Holy Name."
"Blessed be His Holy Name."
Everything blurred into a swinging mist. With a sound half-gasp, half-cry she rocked on her feet and reeled backward into Kieth's suddenly outstretched arms.
