Ritual Missae for the Master Lodge of the FS Before the opening of the lodge the Master of Ceremonies (a function performed by either the Grand Master or Chancellor) and both wardens prepare the sacral sphere in the lodge space. An auxiliary candle is lit. The S.W. or the M.C. completes the ritual censing. He steps before the altar, behind which the MC is standing. He bows and speaks: "Most honorable Master, I request to sacralize the censing!" M.C. takes the censer and censes three times toward the four cardinal directions, saying: "In nomine Demiurgi Saturni [then with a glance to the west turned to the brothers], step forward my brothers and sisters!" 143
