O SALUTARIS

O Salutaris Hostia Quae caeli pandis ostium.

Bella premunt hostilia;
Da robur, fer auxilium.
Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria:
Qui vitam sine termino,
Nobis donet in patria. Amen.

The presider goes to the Tabernacle, genuflects, removes the Blessed Sacrament, brings
it to the Altar, and places it in the monstrance turned towards the faithful.

If a Priest or Deacon, kneel before the altar and incense the Holy Eucharist. Musical

The Priest:
O Sacrament Most holy,
O Sacrament Divine

The people reply:

All praise and thanksgiving
be every moment Thine.
Adoration

O my God, I believe, I adore, I love you.

I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore,
do not hope, do not love. (3x)

O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

I adore You profoundly and I offer You the
Most Precious Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity
of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ present in all the
tabernacles of the world in reparation and satisfaction for all the
outrages, sacrileges and indifferences committed against Him.

Through the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of

Jesus and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I pray for the conversion of sinners. Amen.
A brief moment of silence is observed in adoration

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE

MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS

Most Sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us
humbly prostrate before You. We are Yours, and Yours we wish to be;
but to be more surely united with You, behold each one of us freely
consecrates himself today to Your Most Sacred Heart. Many indeed
have never known You; many, too, despising Your precepts, have
rejected You. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw
them to Your Sacred Heart.

Be King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken
You, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned You;
grant that they may quickly return to their Father’s house, lest they
die of wretchedness and hunger.
 Be King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom
discord keeps aloof, and call them back to the harbor of Truth and the
unity of Faith, so that soon there may be but one flock and one
Shepherd.

Grant, O Lord, to Your Church assurance of freedom and immunity

from harm; give tranquility of order to all nations; make the earth
resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the Divine Heart
that wrought our salvation; to It be glory and honor forever. Amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

In silence, we pray for the intentions of our Holy Father, Pope Francis,
and for our personal intentions.
 SALUTATIONS TO CHRIST THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE,
PRESENT IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

The Priest:
We worship you, God our loving Father, for in your mercy you
created the world; and in your will, you are to reign the world
with mercy, justice and peace. For this we adore you.

The choir will respond in song

Christus vincit! Christus regnat Christus, Christus imperat!

The Priest:
We worship you O Christ, present here in the wonderful Sacrament
of the Altar; for in your mercy, you came to the world to die, in order
to save us from our downfall, and on the third day you rose again.
Now you sit at the right hand of the Father and we wait for your
coming. For this we adore you.

The choir will respond in song

Christus vincit! Christus regnat Christus, Christus imperat!

The Priest:
We worship you O Holy Spirit, for in your mercy, you continuously
guide and enlighten the people of God to the road of salvation, and
give each and every faithful a burning heart for love of you.
For this we adore you.
The choir will respond in song
Christus vincit! Christus regnat Christus, Christus imperat!
Gospel Luke 23:35–43

The Priest, says:

The Lord be with you.
The people reply:
And with your spirit.
The Priest:
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
and at the same time, he makes the Sign of the Cross on the book and on his forehead, lips, and
breast.

The people acclaim:

Glory to you, O Lord.
Then the Priest, incenses the book, if incense is used, and proclaims the Gospel.

The rulers sneered at Jesus and said,

“He saved others, let him save himself
if he is the chosen one, the Christ of God.”
Even the soldiers jeered at him.
As they approached to offer him wine they called out,
“If you are King of the Jews, save yourself.”
Above him there was an inscription that read,
“This is the King of the Jews.”
Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying,
“Are you not the Christ?
Save yourself and us.”
The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply,
“Have you no fear of God,
for you are subject to the same condemnation?
And indeed, we have been condemned justly,
for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes,
but this man has done nothing criminal.”
 Then he said,
“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
He replied to him,
“Amen, I say to you,
today you will be with me in Paradise.”

At the end of the Gospel, the Priest, acclaims:

The Gospel of the Lord.
All reply:
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

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

EUCHARISTIC HYMN AND INCENSATION

Toward the end of the exposition the priest or deacon goes to the altar, genuflects, and
kneels. Then a hymn or other Eucharistic song is sung.

Tantum Ergo

Tantum ergo Sacramentum Veneremur cernui:

Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui:
Praestet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui.
Genitori, Genitoque Laus et jubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque Compar sit laudatio. Amen.

Priest:
Panem de caelo praestitisti eis

All:
Omne delectamentum in se habentem

Priest:
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.

All:
Amen.
Eucharistic Blessing

The presider, if a Priest or Deacon, dons the humeral veil and goes to the altar and the
Blessed Sacrament. He genuflects, takes the monstrance, and makes the sign of the cross
with it over the people in silence. He then replaces the monstrance on the altar,
genuflects, and returns to the front of the Altar to kneel.

Divine Praises

The presiding minister then leads the faithful in the recitation of the Divine 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.

Reposition

The presider then genuflects, removes the Blessed Sacrament from the monstrance and
places it in the tabernacle, and genuflects again. Once the tabernacle is closed, all stand.
RECESSIONAL

The song O Salutaris Hostia is then sung.

O Salutaris Hostia

O salutaris Hostia, Quae caeli pandis ostium:

Bella premunt hostilia, Da robur, fer auxilium.
Uni trinoque Domino Sit sempiterna gloria,
Qui vitam sine termino Nobis donet in patria.
Amen.

During the song, the presiding minister, accompanied by other ministers if present, go
before the Altar, genuflect to the Tabernacle (or if the Tabernacle is not located in the
Sanctuary profoundly bow to the Altar) before exiting the Sanctuary.
