HOMILY 14
PROFESSION OF FAITH 15 A I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
At the words that follow, all bow. and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. (end bow)
ForoursakehewascrucifiedunderPontiusPilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction30 EXPOSITION
The Order for Solemn Exposition of the Holy Eucharist provides several settings for the Liturgy of the Hours and two Eucharistic Services of Prayer and Praise. This liturgy in its various forms is designed to “acknowledge Christ’s marvelous presence in the sacrament and invites us to the spiritual union with Him that culminates in sacramental communion.” (Order for Solemn Exposition of the Holy Eucharist, number 7)
As the priest, deacon or other minister prepares the Holy Eucharist for adoration, “O Salutaris Hostia/O Saving Victim” or another suitable hymn or song is sung. (See EUCHARISTIC ADORATION and BENEDICTION section of the Saint Augustine Hymnal.)
31 ADORATION
“During the exposition there should be prayers, songs, and readings to direct the attention of the faithful to the worship of Christ the Lord. To encourage a prayerful spirit, there should be readings from Scripture with a brief homily or exhortations to develop a better understanding of the eucharistic mystery. It is also desirable for the people to respond to the word of God by singing and to spend some periods of time in religious silence. Part of the liturgy of the hours, especially the principal hours, may be celebrated before the blessed sacrament, when there is a lengthy period of exposition. (Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside of Mass, num-bers 95, 96).
At the conclusion of the prayer and silence, “Tantum Ergo/Humbly Let Us Voice Our Homage” or another suitable hymn or song is sung. (See EUCHARISTIC ADORA-TION and BENEDICTION section of the Saint Augustine Hymnal.)
32 BENEDICTION
V. You have given them bread from heaven, R. Having within it all sweetness.
If the minister is a priest or deacon, he may give a blessing. Before the blessing, one of the following prayers may be said:
SAMPLE
COPY
O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament left us a memorial of Your Passion: grant, we implore You, that we may so veneratethe sacred mysteries of Your Body and Blood, as always to be conscious of the fruit of Your Redemption. You who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
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 You 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. Amen.
B
REPOSITION 33After the blessing, the priest, deacon or other minister places the Holy Eucharist in the tabernacle. The people may pray the Divine Praises or sing a suitable hymn or song. (See EUCHARISTIC ADORATION and BENEDICTION or PRAISE sections of the Saint Augustine Hymnal.)
Divine PraisesBlessed 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.
