Here, in solemn Masses, he blesses the Incense, saying:

MAY the Lord, by the intercession of the blessed Michael the Archangel, who standeth at the right side of the altar of perfumes, and of all his Elect, vouchsafe to bless this Incense, and receive it as an odor of sweetness: through Christ our Lord. Amen.

He incenses the bread and wine, saying:

MAY this incense which Thou hast blessed, O Lord, ascend to Thee, and may Thy mercy descend upon us.
