Sexagesima; 2nd Sunday before Lent, Bishop's Blessing


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
