When a priest prepares for Holy Mass it is customary for him to say prayers as he dons each vestments. When putting on the amice, he lets it rest on the top of his head briefly and he says the prayer:Upon my head, O Lord, place the helmet of salvation, so that I may defeat the assaults of the devil.I received today an email which I share with my emphases:Father Z, Let me say first, thank you for the time you put into your blog.
