Bishop’s Blessing
Proper Blessing of the Day by a Bishop only if
present (Fourth Sunday after the Octave after Pascha, that is, V
Pascha, literally the fasting day: beginning of the Rogation fast.)
May
Almighty God be pleased to be attentive to your devotion, and grant you the
gift of His blessing. Amen. May He forgive you all the evil you have carried,
and
grant the forgiveness which you may ask from Him. Amen. And thus may He accept
the old fast and the offerings of prayers, so that He may avert from
you
every adversity which you deserve as a retribution of sins, and may He pour
forth in you the gift of the Spirit, the Paraclete. Amen.
May
He Whose Kingdom and Dominion remain without end, be pleased to sustain us unto
ages of ages. Amen.
May
the blessing of God: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and the peace
of the Lord be ever with you. Amen. +William
