BLESSING OF ANY OBJECT - NOT FOUND IN THE RITUAL

BLESSING OF ANY OBJECT

For which no special blessing is to be found in the Roman Ritual.

V. Our help is in the name of the Lord.

R. Who made heaven and earth.

V. The Lord be with you.

R. And with your spirit.

Let us pray: O God by whose word all things are sanctified, pour out thy blessing upon this product of thy creating hand. And when any man, grateful for thy gift of it, shall use this thing as thou hast commanded and desired, may this invocation of thy holy name draw down upon him from thee well-being for his body and safe-keeping for his soul. Through Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

He sprinkles it with holy water.
