 Bishop's blessing. May God who's passed coming in the flesh is believed and coming in judgment is expected, cleanse you of all your faults before He comes. Amen. May He cleanse you of all which would condemn you at the future judgment so that when the judge cometh with Justice He will not find anything in you which will condemn you. Amen. So that when He cometh; you will not receive eternal punishment but rather will receive eternal treasure. Amen. May He Whose Kingdom and Dominion remain without end, be pleased to sustain us unto ages of ages. Amen.
