VESTING PRAYERS
The amice signifies the helmet of salvation which protects the priest from Satan
Place on my head, Lord, the helmet of salvation so that I may overcome the assaults of the evil one.
The alb is the symbol of perfect integrity
Cleanse me, Lord, and purify me heart, so that being washed in the blood of the Lamb, I may come to enjoy everlasting bliss.
The cincture typifies priestly purity
Gird me, Lord, with the cincture of purity and extinguish within me unholy desires, so that I may persevere in continence and chastity.
The maniple reminds us that our sorrows will be turned into joy
May I have the grace, Lord, to bear the maniple of tears and sorrow, so that I may receive with delight the reward of my labor.
The stole, sign of authority, is also a symbol of immortality
Restore to me, Lord, the stole of immortality which was lost through the transgression of our first parent; and unfit though I be to approach your Sacred Mystery, let me be worthy at last of eternal joy.
The chasuble is an emblem of charity and the yoke of Christ
O Lord, who said, "My yoke is easy and my burden light," help me to carry it in such a way as to win your favor. Amen.
