Bishop's Blessing. Palm Sunday 2022. Let Anyone Who has No Business Here, Leave.

 

Proper Blessing of the Day by a Bishop 

May Almighty God bless you so that you may be eager to please him with the leanness of those who fast and the observance of these present days. Amen.

And may He grant unto you that you will have striven to be presented to Him with branches of palms and other similar branches in such a way that that you may be strong enough to appear
before Him after death with the palm of victory and the fruit of good works. Amen.

And may He in the Passion of whose Son you believe with pure heart, and eagerly venerate with devoted mind, grant that you may come unto the Feast of His Resurrection with the reward of
replenishment, strengthened with His protection. 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,
