PRIEST: God’s creature, salt, I cast out the demon from you by the
living (+) God, by the true (+) God, by the holy (+) God, by
God who ordered you to be thrown into the water spring by
Elisius to heal it by its barrenness. May you be a purified
salt, a means of health for those who believe, a medicine for
body and soul for all who make use of you. May all evil
fancies of the foul fiend, his malice and cunning, be driven
afar from the place where you are sprinkled. And let every
unclean spirit be repulsed by Him who is coming to judge
both the living and the dead and the world by fire.
ALL : Amen

When the procession is done, the following prayer is said:
ALL : You are God: we praise You;
You are the Lord: we acclaim You;
You are the Eternal Father: all creation worships You.
To You all angels, all the powers of heaven,
Cherubim and seraphim, sing in endless praise:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of Your glory.
The glorious company of apostles praise You.
The noble fellowship of prophets praise You.
The white-robed army of martyrs praise You.
Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims You:
Father, of majesty unbounded,
Your true and only Son, worthy of all worship,
And the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.
You, Christ, are the king of glory,
the eternal Son of the Father.
When You became Man to set us free,
You did not spurn the Virgin’s womb.
You overcame the sting of death
And opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You are seated at God’s right hand in glory.
We believe that You will come, and be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help Your people,
bought with the price of Your own blood,
and bring us with Your saints to glory everlasting.
ALL : Amen.
