THE SECOND PART OF THE LITANY

27. After the Renewal of baptismal promises, if there are cantors or other clerics to sing the Litany, the celebrant and ministers [servers] make reverence to the altar and return to the sacristy.
If there are no cantors or clerics, the celebrant kneels on the lowest step of the altar, towards the Epistle side, and completes the' singing or recitation of the Litany from Propitius esto, the people answering. The invocations are not doubled. When the Litany is ended, the celebrant and ministers go to the sacristy.
28. The celebrant himself and the ministers go to the sacristy, and put on white vestments for the celebration of Mass.
29. Meanwhile, the paschal candle is put on its candlestick at the Gospel corner, and the altar is made ready for Mass, with lighted candles and flowers.
