V. Our
help is in the name of the Lord.
R. Who
made heaven and earth.
Let
us pray.
Almighty
eternal God, who through your servant Moses commanded vestments to be fashioned
for the honour of your name, that the High Priest, priests and levites might fittingly
stand before your face to worship you, in your goodnefs heed our prayer. Through our humble ministration blefs
+ these
priestly garments and pour out grace upon them; that they may be vestments
henceforth, blefsed for use in the
sacred ceremonies of your worship. And as your bishops, priests and levites wear these sacred vestments,
may they find strength against the onslaughts and temptations of the devil. May they worship you worthily and well,
giving themselves wholly to your service and finding therein their never-ending
joy. Through Christ our
Lord. Amen.
