PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION

Having received the food of immortality, we ask, O Lord,

to the commands of Christ, the King of the universe,
we may live with him eternally
in his heavenly Kingdom.
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.

Announcements may be made here.

The Concluding Rites are omitted. The monstrance in which the consecrated host has been
placed is set on the altar.

Commentator: Please kneel.

EXPOSITION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

O salutaris Hostia
Quae caeli pandis ostium;
Bella premunt hostilla,
Da robur, fer auxillium.

Uni trinoque Domino


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

The minister incenses the sacrament.


ACT OF DEDICATION OF THE HUMAN RACE TO JESUS CHRIST
THE KING

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 for ever. Amen.

PROCESSION

The minister stands, puts on the humeral veil, genuflect before the altar and takes the Blessed
Sacrament. The procession then begins. Suitable hymns may be sung during the procession.

BENEDICTION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

Commentator: Please kneel.

The priest places the Blessed Sacrament on the altar, genuflects, returns to his place and kneels.

TANTUM ergo Sacramentum Genitori, Genitoque


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

Meanwhile the minister, while kneeling, incenses the sacrament if the exposition has taken place
with the monstrance.
V. Panem de coelo praestitisti eis.
R. Omne delectamentum in se habentem.

Afterward the minister rises and sings:

Oremus.

Deus, qui nobis, sub sacraménto mirábili,


passiónis tuæ memóriam reliquísti:
tríbue, quæsumus;
ita nos Córporis et Sánguinis tui sacra mystéria venerári,
ut redemptiónis tuæ fructum in nobis júgiter sentiámus:
Qui vivis et regnas in sæcula sæculórum.
Amen.

After the prayer, the priest of deacon puts on the humeral veil, genuflects, and takes the
monstrance or ciborium. He makes the sign of the cross over the people with the monstrance or
ciborium.
