4th and 6th Sunday of Advent. Wolves, Lambs, and Idols. Bishop's Blessing

 

                                                  Proper Blessing of the Day by a Bishop

May God Who restored the gifts of your first parent at His first coming and will fulfill the promise of granting you the kingdom of the Saints and Angels, sanctify you with His illumination. Amen. May He shatter your chains before He comes so that you may be freed of the chains of your sins and fearlessly await His awesome advent. Amen. And may you who believe in Him Who came into the world for your salvation, and recognize as the Judge that is to come, be worthy to fearlessly gaze upon the Glory of His Advent. 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
