"Behold this Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to consuming itself to witness its love."(St. Margaret Mary, Apostle of the Sacred Heart" , 111)

Sister Margaret Mary’s words

Prayers for Exposition

After the priest begins with the opening prayers, he will sing O Saving Victim, either in English or Latin:
O Saving Victim (O Salutaris Hostia)

English

O saving Victim, open wide
The gate of heaven to us below.
Our foes press on from every side;
Your aid supply, your strength bestow.

To your great name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
O grant us endless length of days
In our true native land with thee. Amen.

Prayers for Benediction

Tantum Ergo

English

Down in adoration falling,
This great Sacrament we hail;
Over ancient forms of worship
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith will tell us Christ is present,
When our human senses fail.

To the everlasting Father,
And the Son who made us free,
And the Spirit, God proceeding
From them each eternally,
Be salvation, honor, blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
Amen.

Latin

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.

Prayer of Benediction

English

Let us pray.

O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament
have left us a memorial of your Passion,
grant us, we pray,
so to revere the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood
that we may always experience in ourselves
the fruits of your redemption.

Who live and reign with God the Father
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Latin

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 jugiter sentiamus.

Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo Patre
in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus,
per omnia saecula saeculorum.

Amen.
