Orationes dicendæ cum sacerdos induitur sacerdotalibus paramentis.
Cum lavat manus dicat:
Da, Dómine, virtútem mánibus meis ad abstergéndam omnem máculam; ut sine pollutióne mentis et córporis váleam tibi servíre.
Give virtue, O Lord, unto my hands, that every stain may be wiped away: that I may be enabled to serve Thee without defilement of mind or body.
Ad Amictum, dum ponitur super caput, dicat:
Impóne, Dómine cápiti meo gáleam salútis, ad expugnándos diabólicos incúrsus.
Place, O Lord, the helmet of salvation upon my head, that I may overcome the assaults of the devil.
Ad Albam, dum ea induitur:
Deálba me, Dómine, et munda cor meum; ut, in sánguine Agni dealbátus, gáudiis pérfruar sempitérnis.
Cleanse me, O Lord, and purify my heart, that being made white in the Blood of the Lamb, I may have the fruition of everlasting joys.
Ad Cingulum, dum se cingit:
Præcínge me, Dómine, cíngulo puritátis, et extíngue in lumbis meis humórem libídinis; ut máneat in me virtus continéntiæ et castitátis.
Gird me, O Lord, with the girdle of purity and extinguish in my loins the desire of lust: so that the virtue of continence and chastity may ever abide within me.
Ad Stolam, dum imponitur collo:
Redde mihi, Dómine, stolam immortalitátis, quam pérdidi in prævaricatióne primi paréntis; et, quamvis indígnus accédo ad tuum sacrum mystérium, mérear tamen gáudium sempitérnum.
Restore to me, O Lord, the stole of immortality, which I lost by the transgression of the first parent: and although unworthy, as I draw near to Thy sacred mystery, may I be found worthy of everlasting joy.
Ad Casulam, dum assumitur:
Dómine, qui dixísti: Iugum meum suáve est et onus meum leve: fac, ut istud portáre sic váleam, quod cónsequar tuam grátiam. Amen.
O Lord, who hast said, "My yoke is easy, and My burden light" make me so able to bear it, that I may obtain Thy favor. Amen.
