RITE OF EUCHARISTIC EXPOSITION AND BENEDICTION

Kneel: While the presider places the Luna with the Host into the monstrance on the altar.
O salutaris Hostia
Quae coeli pandis ostium:
Bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur, fer auxilium

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

Benediction Prayer

Tantum ergo Sancramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.

Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et jubilatio
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedicto:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio. Amen.

You have given bread from Heaven
R : Containing within all Sweetness

Lord Jesus Christ, you have given 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 you won for us and the peace of the kingdom where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.                R Amen
