Now look upon us your unworthy servants who imitate your great and praiseworthy condenscension. Deign to cleanse us of carnal stain and spiritual impurity through the touching of this water. Give us the invisible coming of Your most Holy Spirit. Keep our souls and bodies from the sinful path of the serpent's guile so that, having been cleansed we may serve You in a way pleasing to You, treading upon snakes and scorpions and on all power of the enemy. For to You is due all glory, honor and worship, together with Your most holy, gracious, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever and forever.
Peace be to all.
And with your spirit. Bow your heads to the Lord. To You, O Lord. You showed us the measure of your humility by YOur great condenscension. And, as a last deisre You taught us to serve one another.
