R. Arnen. Let us pray.

Almighty everlasting God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, vouchsafe to look upon this thy servant, N., whom thou hast been pleased to call unto the rudiments of the faith ; drive out from him all blindness of heart ; break all the bonds of Satan wherewith he was tied; open unto him, O Lord, the ^ate of thy mercy, that, being imbued with the seal of thy wisdom, he may be free from the abominations of all wicked desires ; and, by the sweet odour of thy precepts, may joyfully serve thee in thy Church, and go forward from day to day. Through the same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen
