Blessing of Sprouting Seed - from the Roman Rite
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.
We ask and beg of you, Lord, to bless this sprouting seed. Warm
it with the gentle breath of soft winds, make it fruitful with dew
from heaven, and be so kind as to bring it to its fullest maturity
for the good of our souls and bodies, through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen
(And they are sprinkled with holy water.)
