“Asperges Me” is a Latin Antiphon said or sung at the Roman Catholic Main Mass on Sundays in all seasons except the Easter (Paschal) Season and Palm Sunday.
It traditionally accompanies The Asperges, the ritual sprinkling of the Congregation by the Celebrant with Holy Water, as part of an Entrance Ritual, symbolising the cleansing of the people. Its words are taken from Psalm 50, “The Miserere”.
Asperges me, Domine, hyssopo et mundabor,
Lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
Thou wilt sprinkle me, O Lord, with hyssop
and I shall be cleansed
Thou wilt wash me, and I shall be washed whiter than snow.
Pity me, O God, according to Thy great mercy.
