A Pontifical Blessing for Ice Cubes of Various Sizes, courtesy of Fr Rutler:
I unworthily propose a prayer for Pontifical blessings of ice cubes of various sizes in times of Climate Change. It may be used in time of global cooling as it is frozen, or in time of global warming as it melts.
Almighty God by whose sovereign breath frost is given and running rivers have been made solid (Job 37:10), and whose Providence hath gendered the hoary frost of heaven (Job 38:29): we humbly thank Thee for having cast ice like morsels when climates cool, and for turning that same ice in time of warming verily to limpid water that doth quench the thirst of wild asses (Psalm 104:11): forgive our selfish pride for making ozone to change the face of soft waters into waters that are hard, and hard waters into waters that are soft. From shrinking pole to expanding pole may all living creatures join the ice and snow in blessing Thee (Daniel 3:69) whose only Begotten Son was able to walk on water that was not frozen, and with whom there is no variableness neither shadow of turning (James 1:17). Amen.
