Bishop's blessing! 1st Sunday after Christmas! Feast of the Holy Innocents!

 Bishop's blessing first Sunday after Christmas: Holy Innocents. Almighty God, for Whose Only-Begotten's silent veneration's, the deadly Rage of Herod killed the crowd of innocent infants, may Almighty God bestow the most gracious gift of His blessing upon you. Amen. And may He who granted to them that they would confess His Only Son our Lord, not by speaking but by dying, grant unto you that the Faith which your tongue proclaims: likewise honest morals and a blameless life, may confess. Amen. May He make those of you who received the first fruits of His holy Church, to be fruitful and good works, and to pass through unto the eternal joy of the fathers. 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
