First Sunday of Lent Bishop's Blessing
First Sunday of Lent 2020
Bishop's blessing, The first Sunday of Lent;
may Almighty God, who consecrated Elias and our Mediator by the fast of forty
days of Moses, bless you. And may He grant unto you the dispensation that you
go through this present life unto the receiving from the Father of the
[heavenly] family the coin of reward of remission of all sins, unto the
glorious resurrection with all the saints. Amen. And may He give to you
spiritual virtue for victorious defense; as the Lord gave the example of how to
be strong enough to conquer thoroughly the most cunning temptations of the
ancient enemy. Amen. For not in bread alone, but by every word which proceeds
from His mouth, and through the spiritual food of the observation of the fasts
and the display of similar good work, may you be worthy to receive the
never-withering crown of glory. 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

Bishop's Blessing
Second Sunday before Lent, Sexagesima, Western
Rite. Bishop's blessing; may God, who preserves the seed of good crops in His
Church, never cease to preserve and multiply that seed in you. Amen. May he
repel from you the weeds sown by the adversary, and by the pablum [cereal] of
his word, restore you without ceasing. Amen. And with His coming in the
days of judgment, may you be separated from the guilty, and may you stand at
the right hand of the judge and be gathered into His most blessed kingdom.
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
