Blessing Of Wine For The Sick

V. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
R. Who has made heaven and earth.

V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with your spirit.

Let us pray.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,
in Cana of Galilee You turned water into wine.
Be so kind as to bless and sanctify this wine
which You have made
and given for the sustenance of Your servants,
so that, wherever men may pour this wine,
and whoever drinks of it,
may be filled with the richness of Your goodly blessing.

Almighty, everlasting God,
eternal salvation of those who believe,
hear our prayers for Your sick servant (or servants)
for whom we ask help in Your mercy,
that he (she or they) may regain health
and return thanks to You in Your Church,
through Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

(Then the wine is sprinkled with holy water.)
