| Benediction at St. Peter's |
BENEDICTION is a short exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for adoration
by the faithful. At the end of the exposition during which two hymns, O Salutaris Hostia and Tantum Ergo Sacramentum, are
sung, the Priest makes the Sign of the Cross over the people with the Blessed Sacrament. The recitation of the Divine Praises
ends the ceremony.
| Tantum Ergo Sacramentum: |
|
TANTUM ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Praestet fides
supplementum
Sensuum defectui. |
DOWN in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! oe'r ancient forms departing
Newer rites
of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail. |
|
Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et iubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti
ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
Amen. |
To the everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Holy Spirit proceeding
Forth from
each eternally,
Be salvation, honor blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
Amen. |
|
V. Panem de caelo praestitisti eis. (T.P. Alleluia)
R. Omne delectamentum in se habentem. (T.P.
Alleluia) |
V. Thou hast given them bread from heaven (P.T. Alleluia).
R. Having within it all sweetness
(P.T. Alleluia). |
|
Oremus: Deus, qui nobis sub sacramento mirabili, passionis tuae memoriam reliquisti: tribue, quaesumus, ita
nos corporis et sanguinis tui sacra mysteria venerari, ut redemptionis tuae fructum in nobis iugiter sentiamus. Qui vivis
et regnas in saecula saeculorum. |
Let us pray: O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament left us a memorial of Thy Passion: grant, we implore Thee,
that we may so venerate the sacred mysteries of Thy Body and Blood, as always to be conscious of the fruit of Thy Redemption.
Thou who livest and reignest forever and ever. |
|
R. Amen |
R. Amen. |
| O Salutaris Hostia: |
O salutaris Hostia
Quae coeli pandis ostium.
Bella premunt hostilia;
Da robur,
fer auxilium |
O
Saving Victim opening wide
The gate of heaven to all below.
Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply,
Thy strength bestow. |
Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria:
Qui vitam sine termino,
Nobis donet
in patria.
Amen. |
To
Thy great name be endless praise
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
Oh, grant us endless length of days,
In our true
native land with Thee.
Amen. |
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.
