BLESSING OF
THE STAINED GLASS WINDOW
Our help is in the Name of the Lord.
Who created the heavens and the earth.
May the Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
Let Us Pray
O God, Eternal and All-Powerful, sanctify these statues and the images of your saints, so that, in contemplating them, we meditate and imitate their lives and holiness. We pray to You to bless and to sanctify this image erected to the memory and for the honor of Your only Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Make each faithful soul who, encouraged by the view of this image, strives to honor Him and adore Him, obtain by His merits, grace in this life and glory eternal in the life to come. By the same Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
Let Us Pray
O God, who by Your Word sanctifies all things, bring down Your blessing on this stained glass window. May those, who, in viewing it with the spirit of gratitude, make their lives conform to Your Will and to Your Law, receive by invoking Your Holy Name and by Your Power, bodily health and comfort to the soul. By Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
