Tonight
while attempting unsuccessfully to give Boo his medicine, he
announced that he thought
he'd be willing to take his evening medication if it were blessed.
However, since it wasn't, he wasn't interested. OK...a blessing for
the medication? I've never heard of that! Less than an hour later I
actually found one in the Rural Life Prayerbook on
EWTN's website. Once his medication was blessed, he quite
contentedly swallowed it, put his pajamas on and went to bed.
Amazing!
A
BLESSING FOR ANY MEDICINE
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.
O God,
You have made man out of nothing in a marvelous way, and in a still
more
marvelous way You have "remade" him. You have been so kind
as to come
to our
aid with many remedies in the various sicknesses with which mankind
is
weighed down. Kindly hear our prayers and pour Your holy blessing
from
heaven
upon this medicine, that he (she, or they) who partakes (partake) of
it may
merit to receive health of both mind and body, through Christ our
Lord.
R. Amen.
