    Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction

    Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament


    Kneel: When the presider (priest or deacon) goes to the tabernacle and when he opens it all kneel.

    Once the celebrant has reached the front of the altar and kneels, O Saving Victim is sung by the
    congregation.

    O saving Victim, open wide O salutaris Hostia


    The gate of heaven to us below. Quae caeli pandis ostium;
    Our foes press on from every side; Bella premunt hostilia,
    Your aid supply, your strength bestow. Da robur, fer auxillium.

    To your great name be endless praise, Uni trinoque Domino


    Immortal Godhead, One in Three; Sit sempiterna gloria,
    O grant us endless length of days Qui vitam sine termino
    In our true native land with thee. Amen. Nobis donet in patria. Amen.

    ADORATION

    During this period there may be appropriate prayers, songs, readings from scripture, and a brief homily to
    help the congregation focus its attention to the worship of the Lord. It is important to remember that the
    Eucharist is the "Real Presence" of Jesus Christ. You may kneel or be seated for your private portion of
    adoration/devotion.

    BENEDICTION

    After a period of meditation and reflection the celebrant goes to the altar, genuflects, and kneels. All kneel
    and join in singing the Tantum Ergo.

    Down in adoration falling, Tantum ergo Sacramentum


    This great Sacrament we hail; Veneremur cernui,
    Over ancient forms of worship Et antiquum documentum
    Newer rites of grace prevail; Novo cedat ritui;
    Faith will tell us Christ is present, Praestet fides supplementum
    When our human senses fail. Sensuum defectfui.

    To the everlasting Father, Genitori Gentioque


    And the Son who made us free, Laus et jubilatio,
    And the Spirit, God proceeding Salus, honor, virtus quoque
    From them Each eternally, Sit et benedictio;
    Be salvation, honor, blessing, Procedenti ab utroque
    Might and endless majesty. Amen. Compar sit laudatio. Amen.

    All remain kneeling when the presider stands and says

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

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

    Priest/Deacon: Let us pray! O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament have left us a memorial of your
    Passion, grant us, we pray, so to revere the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood that we may always
    experience in ourselves the fruits of your redemption. Who live and reign with God the Father in the unity of
    the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

    ALL: Amen.

    The celebrant will then bless all present with the Eucharist.

    After the presider has blessed everyone, he will come back in front of the altar and knell and lead everyone in
    the Divine Praises.

    Blessed be God. Blessed be the great Mother of God,


    Blessed be his holy name. Mary most holy.
    Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true man. Blessed be her holy and Immaculate Conception.
    Blessed be the name of Jesus. Blessed be her glorious Assumption.
    Blessed be his most Sacred Heart. Blessed be the name of Mary, virgin and Mother.
    Blessed be his most Precious Blood. Blessed be St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse.
    Blessed be Jesus in the most holy sacrament Blessed be God in his angels and in his saints.
    of the altar. Amen.
    Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete.

    REPOSITION

    When the priest or deacon has blessed everyone he then replaces the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle and
    genuflects, all stand and join in singing.

    Holy God, we praise thy name; Hark, the loud celestial hymn;
    Lord of all, we bow before thee; Angel choirs above are raising;
    All on earth they scepter claim; Cherubim and Seraphim,
    All in heaven above adore thee. In unceasing chorus praising,
    Infinite they vast domain, Fill the heavens with sweet accord:
    Everlasting is thy reign! "Holy, holy, holy, Lord!"
