Formerly reserved to the same Order
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, light of everlasting life, who have given us candles to dispel the darkness; we
humbly beg you to bless + these candles by the merits of Blessed Raymond, your confessor. By the power of the holy
cross bestow a heavenly + blessing on them. Let them be so empowered by the sign of the holy + cross, that the spirits
of darkness will flee in fear and trembling from all places where their light shines, and nevermore disturb or molest
those who serve you, the almighty God, who live and reign forever and ever. R. Amen.
Then saying again Let us pray, the priest adds the three orations:
Let us pray. Prayer
Almighty everlasting God, who enable us, your servants, in our profession of the true faith, to acknowledge the glory
of the three Persons in the eternal Godhead, and to adore their oneness of nature, their co-equal majesty; grant, we pray,
that by steadfastness in that faith we may ever be guarded against all adversity; through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
Let us pray. Prayer
We entreat you, Lord God, grant us the enjoyment of lasting health of body and mind; and by the glorious intercession
of blessed Mary, ever a Virgin, free us from present sorrow and give us everlasting joy; through Christ our Lord. R.
Amen.
Let us pray. Prayer
God, who endowed Blessed Raymond, your confessor, with the wondrous power to deliver your faithful from captivity
under impious men; grant by his intercession that we may be absolved from the bonds of our sins, and then tranquilly
perform only those things that are pleasing to you; through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
after which he continues:
May the blessing of almighty God, Father, Son, + and Holy Spirit, come upon you and remain with you forever. R.
