ORDER OF BLESSING WITHIN THE MASS

FOR MUSIC MINISTRY


(BOOK OF BLESSINGS # 1852 – 1854)

1852 After the gospel reading, the celebrant in the homily, based on the sacred text and pertinent to the
particular place and the people involved, explains the meaning of the celebration.

1853 The general intercessions follow, either in the form usual at Mass or in the form provided here. The
celebrant concludes the intercessions with the prayer of blessing. From the following intentions those best for
the occasion may be used or adapted, or other intentions that apply to the particular circumstances may be
composed.

The celebrant says:

Priest: God provides the Church with suitable ministers to assist in divine worship. Let us pray
for these music ministers, that God may bless them as they undertake their new roles of
service to this parish.

R. Lord, hear our prayer.

Priest: For the Church of Christ and for this parish of St. John Bosco, that all Christians may
offer themselves as living sacrifices, we pray to the Lord.

R. Lord, hear our prayer.

Priest: For all the music ministers of our parish, that they may deepen their commitment to
serve God and their neighbor, we pray to the Lord.

R. Lord, hear our prayer.

Priest: For the music ministry of our parish, that the beauty which they create in song and praise
may echo always in our hearts, we pray to the Lord.

R. Lord, hear our prayer.

PRAYER OF BLESSING
1854 With hands extended over the new ministers the celebrant says immediately:

Priest: God of Glory, your beloved Son has shown us that true worship comes from humble and
contrite hearts. Bless our brothers and sisters, who have responded to the needs of our
parish and wish to commit themselves to your service as Music ministers Grant that their
ministry may be fruitful and our worship pleasing in your sight.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

R. Amen
