Solution

The correct option is B The priest wished that God may shower His blessings on me.
May is used to express a wish, here, showing of blessings. Therefore, in indirect speech, say is changed to wish. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express wish, hence they're incorrect.
