Now the priest purifies the chalice and gives thanks.

GRANT, O Lord, that what we have taken with our mouth we may receive with a pure mind : that
from a temporal gift it may become for us an eternal remedy.

Purifying his fingers, he adds :

MAY Thy Body, O Lord, which I have received, and Thy Blood which I have drunk, cleave to
my bowels : and grant that no stain of sin may remain in me, whom these pure and holy sacraments
have refreshed : Who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.

The priest goes to the right of the altar.
