Bishop's Blessing. 4th Sunday after Easter! Pusillanimous Don't be this!
Proper Blessing of the Day by a Bishop only if present Dominica .III. Post Octavas Pasche.
Benedictio (Third Sunday after the Octave after Pascha, that is IV
Pascha.)
Merciful God, grant that
these people who have celebrated the healing paschal solemnity: that all Thy
sheep who have been shorn be rooted in Thy desire, and may they who hope to be
pleasing to Thee obtain for one another that which is needful. Amen. May they
set their gaze on Thee; may they hold Thee in their heart; may they hymn Thee
with their voices; may they beseech Thee with their prayers. May they shun what
Thou hast forbidden; may they choose what Thou hast commanded; may they embrace
what Thou hast said; may they fulfill what pleases Thee. Amen. So that in Him,
mystically by means of the Sacrament of Thy faith, which has been perfected and
manifested, they may lovingly receive God in the Eucharist. By the Blood which
has been poured forth as prophesied, they understand with a new mind that they
have been redeemed by Him. 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.
Blessings,
