 | | Towards the end of the Epistle the thurifer fetches the thurible and brings it by the time the celebrant has finished reading the Gospel; he approaches the altar as before, and after the incense has been blessed, carrying the thurible in his right hand, he joins the acolytes and awaits the deacon in plano. |
 | | When the triple sign of the Cross is being made, the thurible to the M.C. and after receiving it back returns to his place facing the Epistle side, taking care not to swing the thurible while while the Gospel is being sung. |
 | | At the close, the thurifer hands the thurible to the deacon, who incenses the celebrant and returns the thurible to the thurifer, who, with the thurible in his left hand, will take a position behind the subdeacon, and genuflect with the sacred ministers, and wait until the Credo is intoned to leave the sanctuary. |
