Prayer for the Blessing of the Laity

Almighty God, to those who love You, You always manifest Your mercy, and in no land are You far from those who seek You with sincere and earnest hearts. Be with Your servants and children who begin this journey, and guide their path according to Your will and purpose.

May Your Saving Care protect them by day, and by night illuminate them with the radiance of Your Mercy and Grace, that, strengthened by the presence and support of Your Holy Spirit, they may joyfully reach the final goal of their journey and return home with gladness, proclaiming with word and life to all Your wonders, the Lord’s mercy and love, healing and salvation—through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
