Purificatio

Illuminate the altar space,
anoint it with smoke or vapor,
and prepare the appropriate
components before beginning.

Wash both hands in clean water and pray

Haec aqua impuritates a corpore velut
plumbo ad aurum mutando eluat
(May this water cast out all impurities
from my substance as from lead to gold.)
Purga mentem (Purify my mind.)
Purga corpus (Purify my body.)
Purga animum (Purify my heart.)
Ita est! (It is so.)

Purify the whole space
with lustral water – saying
this sacred phrase repeatedly
as you make your way around.

Procul, o procul, este profani!
(Begone whatever is unholy)
