Blessing of Seeds
P: Our help is in the name of the Lord.
All: Who made heaven and earth.
P: The Lord be with you.
All: May He also be with you.
Let us pray.
Holy Lord and Father, almighty everlasting God,
we ask and beseech You to look with merry countenance and fair eyes on these seeds and seedlings.
And as You proclaimed to Moses, Your servant, in the land of Egypt, saying:
“Tell the children of Israel that when they enter the land of promise which I shall give them, they are to offer the first-fruits to the priests, and they shall be blessed”;
so too at our request, O Lord, be merciful and pour out the blessing of Your right hand upon these seeds,
which You in Your benevolence bring forth to sustain life.
Let neither drought nor flood destroy them,
but keep them unharmed until they reach their full growth and produce an abundant harvest
for the service of body and soul.
We ask this of you who live and reign in perfect Trinity forever and ever.
All: Amen.
Let us pray.
Almighty everlasting God, sower and tiller of the heavenly word, who cultivate the field of our hearts with heavenly tools, hear our prayers and pour out abundant blessings upon the fields in which these seeds are to be sown.
By your protecting hand turn away the fury of the elements, so that this entire fruit may be filled with your blessing, and may be gathered unharmed and stored up in the granary; through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.
They are sprinkled with holy water and may be incensed.
