Second
Part
Transfer
of the relics
Our
church is now purified. The Pontiff leaves the church for
the Chapel of the relics. He is to triumphantly bear them
to the altar where they shall be buried in the table of Christ's
Sacrifice. |
The Pontiff replaces his purple vestments
with white stole and cope. The deacon also removes his purple
stole to don a white one. The Pontiff proceeds to the location
where the relics have been placed. The Pontiff then recites
the following prayer before the relics: "Grant we beseech
Thee, O Lord, that we may worthily handle these members of
Thy saints, which have been specially devoted to Thy service;
may they never cease to be our Patrons and defenders. Through
Christ our Lord." |
|
| Then
the procession with the Holy Relics resumes triumphantly toward
the church. |
