The Prayer over the Ampulla
Anonymous
Archbishop: O Lord, Holy Father, who by anointing with Oil didst of old make and consecrate kings, priests, and prophets, to teach and govern thy people Israel: Bless and sanctify thy chosen servant, who by our office and ministry is now to be anointed with this Oil, and consecrated King: Strengthen him, O Lord, with the Holy Ghost the Comforter; confirm and stablish him with thy free and princely Spirit, the Spirit of wisdom and government, the Spirit of counsel and ghostly strength, the Spirit of knowledge and true godliness, and fill him O Lord, with the Spirit of thy holy fear, now and for ever. Amen.
