4th Sunday of Lent
Mid Lent
May God who
is pleased to lead you through the meditation of these present forty days; may
He be pleased to bless you with His mercy. Amen. May He accept your past
abstinence. And may He reward [you] at His pleasure in the future, as [you
abstain] from illicit food, so may He grant that you abstain from all that is
sinful. Amen.
Moreover,
by those past and future fruits of spiritual charisms through Him, you will be
paid for freely, owing nothing to Him, absolved, and will be able to cross to
holy Pascha. 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
