EUCHARIST ADORATION AND BENEDICTION

Exposition


O Salutaris

O salutaris Hostia

Quae caeli pandis ostium;

Bella premunt hostilla,

Da robur, fer auxillium.

Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria,
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria. Amen.

 

Adoration


During this period there should be appropriate prayers, songs, readings from scripture, and a brief homily to help the congregation focus its attention to the worship of the Lord. Remember that we are in the “Real Presence” of Jesus Christ.

 

Benediction

 

Tantum Ergo

Tantum ergo Sacramentum

Veneremur cernul,

Et antiquum documentum

Novo cedat ritul;

Praestet fides supplementum

Sensuum defectful.

Genitori Gentioque

Laus et jubilatio,

Salus, honor, virtus quoque

Sit et benedictio;

Procedenti ab utroque

Compar sit laudatio. Amen.

 

Priest/Deacon: You have given them Bread from heaven (P.T. Alleluia)


ALL: Having all sweetness with it (P.T. Alleluia)


Priest/Deacon: Lord Jesus Christ, you gave us the Eucharist as the memorial of your suffering and death. May our worship of this sacrament of your body and blood, help us to experience the salvation won for us and the peace of the kingdom, where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.


ALL: Amen.


(The celebrant will then bless all present with the Eucharist.)

 

Reposition


When the priest or deacon has blessed everyone he then replaces the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle and genuflects. The following acclamation may be said at this time. This acclamation is called the Divine Praises.

 

Devine Praises


Blessed be God.

Blessed be his holy name.

Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true man.

Blessed be the name of Jesus.

Blessed be his most Sacred Heart.

Blessed be his most Precious Blood.

Blessed be Jesus in the most holy sacrament of the altar.

Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete.

Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy.

Blessed be her holy and Immaculate Conception.

Blessed be her glorious Assumption.

Blessed be the name of Mary, virgin and Mother.

Blessed be St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse.

Blessed be God in his angels and in his saints.

Amen.

 


Final Hymn


Holy God, we praise thy name;

Lord of all, we bow before thee;

All on earth they scepter claim;

All in heaven above adore thee.

Infinite they vast domain,

Everlasting is thy reign!

 

Hark, the loud celestial hymn;

Angel choirs above are raising;

Cherubim and Seraphim,

In unceasing chorus praising,

Fill the heavens with sweet accord:

Holy, holy, holy, Lord
