Proper
Blessing of the Day by a Bishop
May God Who crowned
Blessed Stephen the Protomartyr: by the confession of faith and struggle of the
Martyr encircle your minds. And in the present age encircle you with the crown
of justice, and in the future lead you to the crown of glory. Amen.
To you he grants
the obtaining of that [crown] and by the close charity of God to always exalt; indeed,
through him who strove to obtain this [crown] during the stoning. Amen.
Who by his example are hardened like an oak, and by his intercession protected; may you be worthy to be blessed by Him
Whom Stephen saw standing at the right hand of God.
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,
+William
