Exorcism of Incense (and Myrrh)

Let us pray.

Accept, O Holy Father, from me, thine unworthy servant this (these gift/s) 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.

Creature of incense (and myrrh) I purge you of evil by the Father X almighty, by Jesus X Christ, His Sole-Begotten Son, and by the Holy X 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 trustful souls who use you in their homes or about their person 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 the Holy Magi who venerated Christ, the Lord with similar gifts). R. Amen.

Blessing of Incense (and Myrrh)

O God, thou the invisible and unending One, in the holy and awesome name of they Son graciously bestow blessing X and power upon this creature (these creatures) incense (and myrrh). Protect them who will have them in their possession from illness, injury, and danger to body and soul, so they can joyously and securely sere thee with zeal in the Church. Who in perfect Trinity livest and reignest God, forever.

R. Amen.

And may the blessing of almighty God, Father X, Son, and Holy Spirit descend upon these creature/s incense (and myrrh), and remain for all time.

R. Amen.

Priest sprinkles incense (and myrrh) with holy water.
