Blessing of the Herbs and the Bees (JM)

  

Blessing of the Herbs and the Bees

(for the Dormition/Assumption of the Mother

of God, 2023, traditional time for blessing of plants)

Bless God for all His creation.

Bless God for the herbs of the field.

Bless God for the mints that grow.

Bless God for the bees that scoop the pollen.

Bless God for the honey they spin

to sweeten the taste and heal our wounds.

To wit, this honey pot on the table,

this Joseph Bear's morning growl:

Bless God for all of His creation!

Amen!
