The Chapter. 1 Cor. i.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apol

los; and I of Cephas; and I of CHRIST. IS CHRIST divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

447. Almighty and merciful God, graciously receive this Thy sheep, saved from the jaws of the wolf, and of Thy great mercy number him in Thy flock, that the enemy may not rejoice against him, but that Thy Church may be glad in his conversion and deliverance, and receive as a mother her child which was dead and is alive again, which was lost and is found.

The Priest rises and lays his hand on the penitent's head, saying,

Our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who hath commanded that repentance and remission of sins should be published in His Name among all nations, of His great mercy give unto thee true repentance, and forgive thee all thy sins. And I, His Priest, by His authority committed unto me, do absolve thee from all ecclesiastical censures, which thou hast or mayest have incurred by reason of thy former errors, heresy and schism. And I restore thee to the full communion of the Catholic Church, in the Name, &c.

He then gives the Benediction, Unto God's gracious mercy, &c.

The person reconciled shall be presented to the Bishop for Confirmation so soon as may be.

The Chapter. S. Matth. viii. And when He was entered into a ship, His Disciples followed Him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but He was asleep. And His Disciples came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, LORD, save us: we perish. And He saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?

448. O LORD GOD Almighty, Who walkest upon the wings of the wind, and bindest the floods from overflowing, mercifully protect Thy servants from perils in the sea, as Thou didst save Noah in the ark, Peter when he was sinking, and Paul in time of shipwreck, that they may always praise Thy holy Name, and when they leave their ships may follow Thy SON for evermore. Through the same.

Benediction. The LORD, the LORD GOD, Who divided the seas with His power, and brought His people over on dry ground; bless, protect, and deliver His servants on the deep, and lead them finally into that place which is called the Fair Havens, nigh whereunto is the City of the LORD. Amen.

We humbly implore Thee, Almighty and Everlasting GOD, that of Thy bountiful goodness Thou wouldst be pleased to bl+ess and sanctify this creature of salt, which Thou hast created for the service of men, that it may profit for the health both of soul and body of them that take it, and that whatsoever is touched or sprinkled therewith may be freed from all uncleanness, and from all attacks of spiritual wickedness; through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

He shall then bless the water on this wise.

O GOD, Who in ordaining divers mysteries for the salvation of mankind, hast been pleased to employ the element of water in the chiefest of Thy Sacraments: give ear to our prayers, and pour upon this water the might of Thy bles+sing, that as it serves Thee in those holy mysteries, so by Thy divine grace it may here avail for the casting out of devils, and the driving away of diseases; that whatsoever in the houses or places of the faithful is sprinkled therewith may be freed from all uncleanness, and delivered from hurt. Let not the breath of pestilence therein abide, nor the destroying blast; let all snares of the enemy be dispersed, and all that does despite to the safety and quiet

O GOD, the Author of victorious might, King of everlasting Empire, eternal and glorious Conqueror, Who pullest down the strength of the adversary, overcomest the rage of Satan, and by Thy power destroyest his wicked imaginations; we humbly entreat Thee to accept this creature of salt and water, and with the dew of Thy blessing illuminate and sanctify it, that wheresoever Thy people shall sprinkle it and call upon the Name of the LORD, they may be preserved from every malice of the unclean spirit, and from the snare of the poisonous serpent, and that the presence of the HOLY SPIRIT may be vouchsafed us in every place, when we ask Him of Thy tender mercy; through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.
