THE OPENING DAY

At the Exposition Mass the célébrant consecrates two large hosts, one of which is destined for the Exposition.

Until the communion, the ordinary number of tapers will suffice.

Before the ablutions, the sub-deacon, or a priest in surplice, or if there be neither, the master of cérémonies, brings the ostensorium, covered with a handsome white veil, and places it standing on the epistle si de, near the corporal. The deacon, or, if there be none, the célébrant uncovers it, places it on the centre of the corporal and opens it. The célébrant himself puts the lunule containing the consecrated host into it ; the deacon turns the ostensorium around and leaves it on the corporal without covering it. Mass ends with ail the cérémonies and genuflections prescribed in présence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed. After the last Grospel, if there are prayers, commanded by the Bishop, to be recited, the célébrant says them as usual.
