Let us pray.
O God, Savior of the world, Who
did consecrate this day with the martyrdom of the most venerable Blase,
granting him among other gifts the power of healing all who are afflicted with
throat ailments; we humbly beseech Your boundless mercy, and beg that these
fruits, bread, wine, and water, which Your devoted people today, be blessed +
and sanctified + by Your goodness. May they who taste thereof be fully healed
of all afflictions of the throat, as well as every infirmity of soul or body,
through the prayers and merits of the same Blase, Pontiff and Martyr. You who
live and reign God, forevermore.
R. Amen.
The items are sprinkled with holy
water.
