Father, cleanse us from secret faults. Purge us! You have purged us with hyssop once, and we are clean; now wash us with water, even as you, blessed Jesus, did wash your disciples’ feet, and make us clean everywhere, that we may be your priests and kings, sanctified wholly; and make us a people zealous of good works.
“Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.” (Psalm 51:7–8)
