Amendment to the litanies of the waters, fruits and airs in the diaspora

Original Arabic Text

Regarding the litanies of the waters, fruits and airs in the diaspora the Synod conflated the litanies together as per the following text:

Priest: Graciously accord, O Lord, the waters of the rain and the rivers, the seeds and the herbs, the plants of the field, the air of heaven, the fruits of the earth this year, to bless them.

Deacon: Pray for the waters of the rain and the rivers, the seeds and the herbs, the plants of the field, the air of heaven, the fruits of the earth, the trees, the vines and for every fruit-bearing tree in all the world, that Christ our God may bless them and bring them to perfection in peace without harm, and forgive us our sins.
