BLESSING THE NEW FIRE
Dóminus vobíscum The Lord be with you.
Et cum, spíritu tuo And with thy spirit
Orémus.
Deus, qui per Fílium tuum, angulárem scilicet lápidem, claritatis tuæ ignem fidélibus contulísti: prodúctum e sílice, nostris profutúrum úsibus,novum hanc ignem sancti fica: et concede nobis, ita per hæc festa paschália cælestibus desideriis inflammári; ut ad perpétuæ claritátis, puris méntibus, valeámus festa pertíngere. Per eúndem Christum Dómininum nostrum. Amen.
Let us pray.
O God, Who through Thy Son, the cornerstone, hast given to Thy faithful the fire of Thy brightness, sanctify this new fire, produced out of flintstone, to be serviceable for our uses; and grant unto us to be so fired with heavenly aspirations through these paschal festivities, that with pure hearts we may be able to attain to the festivities of perpetual brightness. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
