Blessing of Gold, Incense, and Myrrh on Epiphany

Prayer Source: Roman Ritual: Volume III, The Blessings by Philip T. Weller, The Bruce Publishing Company, 1952

Priest vests in white stole.

P: Our help is in the name of the Lord.


All: Who made heaven and earth.
P: The Lord be with you.
All: And with your spirit.

Exorcism of Incense (and Myrrh)


P: Let us pray.
Accept, O holy Father, from me, thine unworthy servant,
these gifts which I offer in humility
to the honor of thy holy name and to thy peerless majesty,
as thou didst accept the sacrifice of the just Abel
and the same gifts from the hands of the Magi.

Creatures of gold, incense, and myrrh,


I purge you of evil by the Father  almighty,
by Jesus  Christ, His Sole-Begotten Son,
and by the Holy  Spirit, the Paraclete,
that freed from all deceit, evil, and cunning of the devil,
you may be a saving remedy to men against the snares of the enemy.
May those who with confidence use you in their homes
or about their persons be delivered from danger to soul and body,
rejoicing in the possession of every good;
through our Lord and Savior's power and merits,
through the intercession of Mary, most holy Virgin Mother of God,
of all saints and of them who on this day venerated Christ,
the Lord with these same gifts.
All: Amen.

Blessing of Incense (, Myrrh and Gold)

P: O God, Who art invisible and without end,


in the holy and awesome name of thy Son
graciously bestow blessing  power
these creatures, gold, incense, and myrrh.
Protect those who will have them in your possession
from illness, injury, and danger to body and soul,
so they can joyously and securely serve thee
with zeal in thy Church.
who in perfect Trinity livest and reignest God,
forever.

All: Amen.

P: And may the blessing of almighty God,


Father,  Son,  and Holy  Spirit,
descend upon these creatures gold, incense, and myrrh,
and remain for all time.
All: Amen.

They are sprinkled with holy water.
