BLESSING OF WATER IN HONOR OF ST. ALBERT, CONFESSOR
Formerly reserved to the Order of Discalced Carmelites
The priest is vested in surplice and stole, or at least in a stole. Assisted by a server who carries a lighted candle, he goes
to the place where the relics of St. Albert are reserved and reverently exposes them. The water to be blessed is at hand in
a fitting vessel.
V. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
R. Who made heaven and earth.
V. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
R. Both now and forevermore.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray. Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, health and strength of all the faithful, who once completely cured the mother-in-law of your apostle,
Peter, of her high fever; be pleased to bless + and to hallow + this creature, water. By the prayers of Blessed Albert,
your confessor, whom you called to forsake the world and to enter the Order of your Mother, the Virgin Mary, and by
the humble use of this water, may all who suffer from fever be delivered from every infirmity of body and soul, and so
deserve to be restored unharmed to your Church, where they will always offer their prayers of gratitude. We ask this of
you who live and reign forever and ever. R. Amen.
Then he reverently takes the relics and immerses them in the water tracing with them the sign of the cross, and saying:
By the merits of St. Albert, bless, + O Lord, this creature, water, as you once consecrated the waters of the Jordan
through contact with your sacred body. And grant that all who taste of it may regain health in body and soul; you who
live and reign forever and ever. R. Amen.
Ant. O Blessed Albert, model of purity, chastity, continency; intercede with the Mother of mercy that she may keep us
from evildoing in this vale of tears, and help us to attain everlasting rest after we have laid aside this mortal body.
V. Pray for us, O Blessed Albert.
R. That we may be worthy of Christ's promise.
Let us pray. Prayer
Almighty and merciful God, grant, we beg you, that by the prayers of Blessed Albert, your confessor, all the faithful
who reverently drink of this water may regain health in body and soul, and so persevere in your holy service; through
Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
