BLESSING AND INVESTITURE WITH THE CORD
IN HONOR OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI
Formerly reserved to the Order of Friars Minor Conventual
The priest, vested in surplice and white stole, says:
V. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
R. Who made heaven and earth.
V. Pray for us, O holy Father Francis.
R. That we may be worthy of Christ’s promise.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray. Prayer
God, who willed in redeeming your servant that your Son should be bound by the hands of wicked men, we beg you to
bless + this cord; and grant that your servant, who will girt his body with it as with the chains of a penitent, may ever
keep in mind the chains of our Lord Jesus Christ, ever persevere in the Order to which he (she) has consecrated himself
(herself), and ever acknowledge himself (herself) bound in affection to your service; through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
Let us pray. Prayer
Almighty everlasting God, who in your loving kindness have pardoned and shown mercy to all sinners who long and
seek for it; we pray that in your boundless mercy you may bless + and hallow + this cord. Let him (her) who will be girt
with it in penance for his (her) sins, by appealing to your goodness and by the merits and prayers of your blessed
servant, Francis, obtain pardon and remission of his (her) sins and the other fruits of your holy mercy; through Christ
our Lord. R. Amen.
The priest sprinkles it with holy water, and then invests the person with it saying:
Take this cord about your loins and let them be girt in token of chastity; in the name of the Father, and of the Son, + and
of the Holy Spirit. R. Amen.
