THE ASPERGES.

During the last Gospel all stand.

(If before the sermon the "Veni Creator" is sung by the choir, all kneel.)



The Asperges.


While the Priest sprinkles Holy Water before Solemn Mews on Sundays, the following Anthems are sung:

Ant. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, O Lord, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

Ps. Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy.

V. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Ant. Thou shalt, etc.

The Priest, returning to the foot of the altar says:

V. Show us, O Lord, thy mercy.
