THE BLESSING OF A CORPORAL
V. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
R. Who made heaven and earth.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with your spirit.
Let us pray: Kind and gentle Lord, whose greatness no tongue can tell, whose hidden truths unfold themselves in the wonder of thy worship, sanctify this linen cloth with thy blessing † that there may be consecrated on it the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son: who lives and reigns with thee for ever and ever.
R. Amen.
He sprinkles it with holy water.
