THE BLESSING OF A CENSER

Maddux, Earle H. A Manual for Priests of the American Church: Complimentary to the Occasional Offices of the Book of Common Prayer. Wipf and Stock Publishers, 2004.

V. Our help is in the Name of the Lord.

R. Who hath made heaven and earth.

V. The Lord be with you.

R. And with thy spirit.

Let us pray.

BLESS, we pray thee O Lord, this censer: and grant that so often as incense is burned therein the prayer of thy people may ascend as a sweet-smelling savour unto thee. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
