Proper Blessing of the Day by a Bishop
May Almighty God, who consecrated Elias and our Mediator by the fast of forty days of Moses, bless you. And may He grant unto you the dispensation that you go through this present life unto the receiving from the Father of the [heavenly] family the coin of reward of remission of all sins, unto the glorious resurrection with all
the Saints. Amen.
the Saints. Amen.
And may He give to you spiritual virtue for victorious defense; as the Lord gave the example of how to be strong enough to conquer
thoroughly the most cunning temptations of the ancient enemy. Amen.
thoroughly the most cunning temptations of the ancient enemy. Amen.
For not in bread alone, but by every word which proceeds from His mouth, and through the spiritual food of the observation of the fasts and the display of similar good work, may you be worthy to receive the never-withering crown of glory. 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
