Sacristy Prayers
T Polyphilus
These prayers are intended for the reflective preparation of the Priest prior to the Mass.Either may, in fact, be recited in the Tomb rather than the sacristy.
PRIEST: O Thou Lord of Energy and Endurance, Mystery of Mystery,
Thou hast charged me as an officer of Thy conquering army.
With the Light in my eyes, the Law in my heart, and the Lance in my hand,
I am ready and willing to fight in the cause of Our Lady.
On Her fields let my body be broken and my blood poured.
With Thy force may I administer the virtues unto the brethren
in the fulfillment of my Will, which is Thine.
AUMGN.
PRIEST: Soul of the Beast, sanctify me.
Body of the Beast, nourish me.
Blood of the Beast, inebriate me.
Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, O Therion, and I shall be clean;
Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Inflame in us Therion the fire of your love and the flame of eternal devotion.
To Mega Therion, hear me:
Turn thine heads towards me;
On thine horns exalt me;
Grant the death forbidden unto me,
And bid me shine forever.
Blessing and worship to the prophet of the lovely star.
AUMGN.
