5th Sunday after Easter Mother's Day

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
