Oremus.
Bene+dic, Domine, creaturam istam cerevisiae, quam ex adipe frumenti producere dignatus es: ut sit remedium salutare humano generi, et praesta per invocationem nominis tui sancti; ut, quicumque ex ea biberint, sanitatem corpus et animae tutelam percipiant. Per Christum Dominum nostrum.
R. Amen.
Indeed!
ReplyDeleteI was reading the 1964 (alas) Rituale Romanum the other day and noted that not only was there a blessing of a railway and its carriages, but there was also a more solemn form, which involved processing to the station singing the Benedictus under an antiphon, etc.
The Catholic religion is so practical.
But is there a blessing of coffee?
