Bishop's Blessing! 5th Sunday after Easter.
Bishop’s Blessing
Proper Blessing of the Day by a Bishop only if
present (Fourth Sunday after the Octave after Pascha, that is, V
Pascha, literally the fasting day: beginning of the Rogation fast.)
May
Almighty God be pleased to be attentive to your devotion, and grant you the
gift of His blessing. Amen. May He forgive you all the evil you have carried,
and
grant the forgiveness which you may ask from Him. Amen. And thus may He accept
the old fast and the offerings of prayers, so that He may avert from
you
every adversity which you deserve as a retribution of sins, and may He pour
forth in you the gift of the Spirit, the Paraclete. 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. +William

Bishop’s blessing. Third Sunday after Easter. Let us pray! May God who conferred to you the boon of redemption and the honor of His adoption, through the Resurrection of His Only-Begotten Son, confer upon you the award of His blessing. Amen. And you received the gift of eternal liberty from Him Who redeems; may you also be made co-inheritors of eternity by Him who is generous. Amen. And joined with Him, with Whom you arose by believing in Baptism, May you be worthy to live well in the heavenly region. 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. +William

Proper Blessing of the Day
May God whose only-begotten Son was pleased to appear on this day to His Disciples while the doors were closed, be pleased to fill you by the gift of his blessing, and be pleased to open the doors of the heavenly kingdom to you. Amen.
And may He Who cut away wounds of doubt from their breasts by taking on the wounds of His Body, grant that by Faith you may believe that He
is Risen and that you may be without the stains of all deficiencies. Amen
And may you, who believe He is God and Lord, along with Thomas whose exclamations and bowing down were drawn forth from him, be strong enough to be watchful against all evils in this age, and be strong enough to stand present in
the congregation of the Saints in the future. 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.
