<strong>The</strong> Introit<strong>The</strong> Introit is sung as <strong>the</strong> procession goes to <strong>the</strong> altar; if <strong>the</strong> Asperges isused it is begun at <strong>the</strong> conclusion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> final prayer.<strong>The</strong> priest arrives at <strong>the</strong> altar; he uncovers his head, and silently prays:O Lord, take our sins from us that we be worthy to enter into <strong>the</strong>Holy <strong>of</strong> Holies with pure minds through Christ our Lord. Amen<strong>The</strong> clergy kiss <strong>the</strong> altar where <strong>the</strong> antimensium is, saying:We beseech You, O Lord, by <strong>the</strong> prayers <strong>of</strong> Your <strong>Saint</strong>s whose relicslay here, and <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> <strong>Saint</strong>s, that you mercifully forgive all oursins. Amen<strong>The</strong> Priest sets on incense and blesses <strong>the</strong> thurible saying:Let this incense be blessed by him in whose honor it is burned.Amen.<strong>The</strong> priest now censes <strong>the</strong> cross, bows, and censes around <strong>the</strong> altarcounterclockwise returning to <strong>the</strong> middle. As he hands <strong>the</strong> thurible back to<strong>the</strong> minister he says quietly:Lord, kindle in us <strong>the</strong> fire <strong>of</strong> your love, and <strong>the</strong> flame <strong>of</strong> everlastingcharity.<strong>The</strong> Kyrie:Kyrie eleison Christe eleison Kyrie eleison (vi/ ix)Or13
