Bishop's Blessing
1st Sunday after Circumcision. The Religion of Trees.
May Almighty God Whose
Only-begotten Son did not dissolve the law, but rather came to fulfill it,
receiving circumcision in the flesh; by spiritual circumcision purge your minds
from all of the attractions of sins, and pour forth into you His blessing.
Amen.
And may He Who
gave the law through Moses, so that He might give blessing through our Mediator,
remove from you the mortification of sins, and make you to persevere in newness
of virtues. Amen.
This one [as a
human] in perfection of the sixth in number [day of creation of man] may you
live in this age and the seventh [day of creation] in number may you rest among
the flock of spirits of the Saints, since renewed in the eight-fold
Resurrection [the eighth day of creation], and enriched in the remission of the
jubilee [eight days after Christmas], may you enter into joys that remain
without end. 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.
