The Benediction and Laying of the Foundation stone of a New Church. ·

No one is to build a Church before the spot and ground are marked out by the judgment of the Bishop, and it is determined what shall suffice for its lamps, what for the stipends of the rector and ministers, and what for the endowment of the Church; nor before a cross is fixed in the place and the first stone laid in the foundation by him, or by a Priest authorised by him. On the previous day, therefore, let a wooden cross be fixed in the place where the altar is to be. But, on the next day, the stone to be placed in the foundation of the Church, which must be a corner-stone, four-square, must be blessed in the following manner. Bishop, vested over his rochet, or, if he be a religious, over his surplice, with amice, alb, girdle, stole, white cope, and plain mitre, and holding the crosier in his left hand, standing, with his mitre, at the place where the Church is to be founded, blesses the salt and the water, saying:

. Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini.

Ry. Qui fecit cœlum et ter

ram.

Exorcizo te, creatura salis, per Deum vivum, per Deum verum, per Deum+sanctum, per Deum qui te per Eliseum prophetam in aquam mitti jussit, ut sanaretur sterilitas aquæ; ut efficiaris sal exorcizatum in salutem credentium et sis omnibus sumentibus te sanitas animæ et corporis; et effugiat, atque discedat a loco, in quo aspersum fueris, omnis phantasia et nequitia vel versutia diabolicæ fraudis, omnisque spiritus immundus, adjuratus, per eum, qui venturus est judicare vivos et mortuos, et sæculum per ignem.

Ry. Amen.

The

y. Our help is in the name of the Lord.

R. Who hath made heaven and earth.

I exorcise thee, creature of salt, by the living + God, by the true God, by the holy + God, by God, who by Eliseus the prophet bade thee be east into the water, that the barrenness of the water might be healed: that thou mayest be made exorcised salt unto the salvation of them that believe, and mayest be unto all that take of thee health of soul and body; and that from the place where thou shalt be sprinkled may fly away and depart every fantasy, and wickedness, and deceit of diabolical fraud, and every unclean spirit, being adjudged by him who shall come to judge the living and the dead, and the world by fire. Ry. Amen.

Then, having laid aside his crosier and mitre, he says, with joined hands:

Immensam clementiam tuam, omnipotens æterne Deus, humiliter imploramus, ut hanc creaturam salis, quam in usum generis humani tribuisti, bene dicere, et sanctificare tua pietate digneris; ut sit omnibus sumentibus salus mentis et corporis; et quidquid ex eo tactum, vel respersum fuerit, careat omni immunditia, omnique impugnatione spiritualis nequitiæ. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus sancti Deus, per omnia sæcula sæculorum.

Ry. Amen.

. Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come
unto thee.

y. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.

Let us pray.

We humbly beseech thine infinite mercy, almighty, everlasting God, that thou mayest vouchsafe to bless and to + sanctify this creature of salt, which thou hast given for the use of mankind; that it may be unto all that take of it health of mind and body; and that whatever shall be touched or sprinkled with it may be free from all uncleanness, and every assault of spiritual wickedness. Through our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.

Ry. Amen.

Then taking back his mitre and crosier, he says over the water by itself:

I exorcise thee, creature of water, in the name of God the + Father Almighty, and in the name of Jesus Christ his

Then, having laid aside his crosier and mitre, he says, with joined hands:

Deus, qui ad salutem humani generis maxima quæque Sacramenta in aquarum substantia condidisti, adesto propitius invocationibus nostris, et elemento huic multimodis purificationibus præparato, virtutem tuæ benedictionis infunde: ut creatura tua mysteriis tuis serviens, ad abigendos dæmones, morbosque pellendos, divinæ gratiæ sumat effectum; ut quidquid in domibus, vel in locis fidelium, hæc unda resperserit, careat omni immunditia, liberetur a noxa: non illic resideat spiritus pestilens, non aura corrumpens; discedant omnes insidiæ latentis inimici, et si quid est quod aut incolumitati habitantium invidet, et aut quieti, aspersione hujus aquæ effugiat; ut salubritas per invocationem sancti tui nominis expetita, ab omnibus sit impugnationibus defensa. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus sancti Deus, per omnia sæcula sæculorum.

Ry. Amen.

R. And let my cry come unto thee.

y. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. Let us pray.

God, who, unto the salvation of mankind, hast constituted the greatest sacraments of the substance of water, be thou propitiously present to our invocations; and pour the virtue of thy + benediction on this element, prepared with manifold purifications, that thy creature, in the service of thy mysteries, may receive the effect of divine grace, unto the driving away of demons, and the banishment of diseases: so that whatsoever this water shall sprinkle in the houses or places belonging to the faithful may be free from all uncleanness, may be delivered from harm: that therein no pestilent spirit may abide, no air of corruption; that from thence all the deceits of the lurking enemy may depart; and that whatsoever there be which is hostile either to the safety or the quiet of the dwellers therein, may fly away at the aspersion of this water; that the salubrity sought by the invocation of thy holy name may be defended from all assaults. Through our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.

Ry. Amen.
