Blessèd be God who makes us fruitful


 

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

John 15:5

 

Litany of Adoration

Blessèd be God, the only God,
three Persons in one eternity of love:
      Blessèd be God.

Blessèd be God, the lover of humankind,
our Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier:
      Blessèd be God.

Blessèd be God, the Fount of human love,
by whom all our common life is made fruitful:
      Blessèd be God.

Blessèd be God for all that He is:
      Blessèd be God.

Blessèd be God for all that He has done:
      Blessèd be God.

Blessèd in the fellowship of His Church
and blessèd amid the celestial host:
      Blessèd be God.

Blessèd by the chorus of all people,
and blessèd by the whisper of each single soul:
      Blessèd be God.

Blessèd from everlasting,
blessèd now, and blessed for ever.
      Blessèd be God.
