R. Et omnibus habitantibus R. And to all who dwell in ea. therein. \ FOR THE SICK. Then placing the holy Sacrament, with the corporal, on a table , when the candles have been lighted, he adores upon his knees, all present doing likewise ; after which he takes holy water, and sprinkles the sick man and the bed on which he lies, saying The Asperges, as at p. 203. After which is said the Confiteor, as at p. 207. Then again adoring on his knees , he takes the Sacrament in his hands, and elevating it, he shews it to the sick man, saying : Ecce Agnus Dei (Behold the Lamb of God, &c.), and re- peating three times , in the usual way : Domine, non sum dig- nus (Lord, I am not worthy, &c.). Then communicating the sick man, he says : Accipe, frater (vel soror), Receive, brother (or sister), viaticum Corporis Domini the viaticum of our Lord nostri Jesu Christi, qui te Jesus Christ, that he may custodiat ab hoste maligno, preserve thee from the ma- et perducat in vitam aeter- lignant enemy, and bring thee nam. Amen
