This prayer is to be said while washing ones' hands in preparation for many of the other rites and rituals of the Religio Romana.
- Wash both hands in clean water and pray:
- May this water cast out all impurities from my substance as from lead to gold.
- Haec aqua a corpore impuritates, modo simile plumbo mutando ad aurum, elluat.
- Place both hands upon your head and pray:
- Purify my mind.
- Purga mentem.
- Bring the arms down to your sides with hands in gesture to your body and pray:
- Purify my body.
- Purga carnem.
- Place both hands on the chest, over the heart and pray:
- Purify my heart.
- Purga animum.
- Take a moment to focus and become fully present and affirm:
- It is so.
- Ita est!
