Proper Blessing of the Day
May Almighty God regard you with pleasure and pour forth the gift of His blessing upon you. Amen. And may He Who made the time of the Incarnation of His Only-Begotten Son a solemnity give you protection from the host of adversaries both in the present and future life. Amen. So that you may rejoice with devoted minds at the coming of our Redeemer in the flesh and be enriched with eternal gifts when He comes again in Majesty. 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.
