ERE IS THE TRADITIONAL WAY of doing the Asperges Me for the EF. The priest enters from the sacristy with the M.C. before Mass, intoning “Asperges Me.”
After the sprinkling and concluding prayers, the priest goes back to the sacristy, changes his cope for the chasuble while thurifer, crucifer, acolythi, and so forth are lining up at the back of church. During this time, the organist improvises on the Introit. As the priest enters—this time from the back of church—the Introit is sung.
