Bishop's Blessing. Whitsunday-Pentecost 2022. Confession as Exorcism.

 Proper Blessing of the Day by a Bishop only if present In Vigilia. Pentecostes. Benedictio (Vigil of Pentecost is Sunday. Do all three Bishop's Blessings. In the Byzantine Rite, there is a long “kneeling service” at the end of Sunday's Liturgy for Pentecost Monday, by anticipation.


The Bishop's Blessings for the Day of Pentecost and final Vespers may be done immediately at the end of the Mass in anticipation, or done together with today's blessing after the Peace; 

May Almighty God bless you, for Whose Paraclete Spirit you prepared your minds through the observation of the fast, and you honor on the solemnity of the present day with praises. Amen.
May you have such innocence so that you look like newly born again infants, so that you may be
able to be a temple of the Holy Spirit Himself where He Himself is present. Amen.
Thus, may the Holy Spirit make you today worthy to be His habitation, so that tomorrow He
may pour Himself into your minds, dwelling with you forever, so that when the course of this
present life has been run, He may lead you unto the heavenly kingdom. 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.

these are for Monday; you may KNEEL.)

In Die Pentecostes Benedictio (Day of Pentecost, Monday)

May God, Who this day was pleased to illumine the minds of the Disciples with the infusion of the Paraclete Spirit, make you to be filled with His blessing and to exult with the gifts of the same Spirit. Amen. May that Fire which appeared above the Disciples purge the contamination of your sins, and may the infusion of His Light illumine your hearts. Amen. May He Who was pleased that diversity of tongues unite in the confession of the one Faith, make you to persevere in the same Faith, and though this, from Hope, make you to achieve the splendor. 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.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Thy Spirit to Thy disciples, give the gift to Thy Catholic church.
Amen. So that whosoever may be reborn from water and the Holy Spirit may be preserved by His protection. Amen. May charity overflow in her [the church], poured out through the Holy Spirit, and overshadow and cover all the multitude of sins. Amen. May He rest, pleased in her, Who once rested glorious among the Apostles. Amen. May He bless you from the heavens, Who
through the Cross of His Passion, redeemed you on the earth; to Whom the honor, and the dominion, and the kingdom, and the power, unto ages of ages. Amen.
May the blessing of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit remain with you always.
Amen.
