Let us pray: O Lord Jesus Christ, Who art sanctified in those that draw nigh to Thee, and dost command them to be cleansed who bear the vessels of the Lord, cleanse the Ordinandi from every defilement of flesh and spirit, that they may accomplish their sanctification in the fear of the Lord; may they not presume to go around Thy altar, or touch the vessels which pertain to the use of the sanctuary, unless they wash their hands among the innocent; that Thou mayest never be angered against them nor strike them as those who are rash. Who livest and reignest forever and ever. ℟. Amen.
