The Consecrating Bishop stands up, without mitre, to bless the ring:
|
Oremus.
|
Let us pray.

CReator, et Conservator humani generis, dator gratiæ spirituális, largitor æternæ salutis, Tu, Domine, emitte bene✠dictionem tuam super hunc annulum; ut quicumque hoc sacrosanctæ fidei signo insignitus incesserit, in virtute cœlestis defensionis ad æternam vitam sibi proficiat. Per eumdum Christum Dominum nostrum. ℟. Amen.
|
O Creator and Preserver of mankind, the Fountain of spiritual grace, and the Author of salvation, do Thou impart Thy Bless✠ing to this ring, that whoever shall walk distinguished by this sacred emblem of fidelity, may come, under the power of heavenly protection, unto life everlasting: Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
|
He sprinkles the ring with holy water, and being seated and mitred, puts it on the finger of the Elect, saying:
|
ACcipe annulum fidei, scilicet signaculum; quatenus sponsam Dei, sanctam videlicet Ecclesiam, intemerata fide ornatus, illibate custodias. ℟. Amen.
|
REceive this ring, the pledge of affiance, that, being adorned with the token of untainted fidelity; thou mayest guard with honour incorrupt, the spouse of God, His holy Church. Amen.
