O salutaris Hostia, Quæ cæli pandis ostium: Bella premunt hostilia, Da robur, fer auxilium. Uni trinoque Domino Sit sempiterna gloria, Qui vitam sine termino Nobis donet in patria. Amen.

O saving Victim, opening wide The gate of Heaven to us below; Our foes press hard on every side; Thine aid supply; thy strength bestow. To thy 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.

All kneel (or sit) for a period of adoration, prayer and meditation. Please pray for our Holy Father, all Pastors of souls with responsibility for the young and vulnerable, and for the Church that God may call us all to holiness and perfection. Please pray for our Parish, our families, our ministries and our community that we may be intential disciples and witnesses to Jesus Christ. Please pray for the Knights of Columbus, for whom this Holy Hour is dedicated, that we may grow in charity, fraternity, unity and patriotism as we serve the Church and our community. Please pray for those who are sick, dying, in distress, lonely and indifferent that they may know the loving, healing and merciful power of Christ in their lives.

Alleluia HYMN ETERNAL SUN, TRUE LOVE DIVINE

All: Eternal Sun, true Light Divine, Whose wisdom fills creation’s plan, We sing to you with joy this day, The Light supreme of ev’ry soul.

Your Holy Spirit’s ardent fire Inspired some chosen master minds, To shed bright rays upon the world And open up salvation’s way.

Both inspiration from on high, And efforts of deep human thought, Have worked in harmony of grace Developing our holy Faith.

This saint and doctor whom we praise, Shines out with luster all his own, A jewel in the favored crown Of those who spread true doctrine’s light.

May his assistance help us now, Unswerving path of truth to tread, That we at last may gaze on you, Our God, for all eternity.

Most tender Father, hear our prayer, Whom we adore, with Christ the Lord, And Holy Spirit of them both, Bless us who praise your Trinity. Amen.

READING 1 PETER 5: 1-4 Reader approaches the ambo and proclaims the reading without the usual “A reading…” To the elders among you I, a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s suffering and sharer in the glory that is to be revealed, make this appeal. God’s flock is in your midst; give it a shepherd’s care. Watch over it willing as god would have you do, not under constraint; and not for shameful profit either, but generously. Be examples to the flock, not lording it over those assigned to you so that when the chief Shepherd appears you will win for yourselves the unfading crown of glory. Reader returns to their place and does not say, “The word of the Lord.”

them.

From this day all generations will call me blessed; the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation.

He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the might from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered the promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever.

INTERCESSIONS Officiant: Jesus Christ is worthy of all praise, for he was appointed high priest among men and their representatives before God. We honor him and in our weakness we pray: All: Bring salvation to your people, Lord. Officiant: You marvelously illuminated your Church through distinguished leaders and holy men and women, let Christians rejoice always in such splendor. All: Bring salvation to your people, Lord.

Through them you give your flock eternal life, save those who have died, those for who you gave up your life. All: Bring salvation to your people, Lord. THE LORD’S PRAYER Officiant: Gathering our prayers and praises into one, let us offer the prayer Christ himself taught us: All: Our Father…

PRAYER Officiant: Let us pray.

All-powerful and ever-living God, You called Saint John Chrysostom to guide your people by his word and example. With him we pray to you: watch over the pastors of your Church with the people entrusted to their care, and lead them to salvation. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

All: Amen

Amen

Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail, Lo! o'er ancient forms departing Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail. To the Everlasting Father, And the Son Who reigns on high With the Holy Ghost proceeding Forth from Each eternally, Be salvation, honour, blessing, Might, and endless majesty. Amen.

Officiant: You have given them bread from heaven. All: Having all sweetness within it. Officiant: 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 regin with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

All: Amen. The Officiant then dons the humeral veil, blesses incense and proceeds to the altar, taking the monstrance he will then bless all present with the Blessed Sacrament while the acolyte/thurifer incenses the Blessed Sacrament and the bells are rung. Following the blessing, the celebrant descends the steps, removes the humeral veil, and while kneeling all recite The Divine Praises.

THE DIVINE PRAISES Officiant leads each Divine Praise and all repeat after each. 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.

REPOSITION AND CLOSING HYMN

The Officiant or deacon, if deacon is not officiant, proceeds to the Monstrance, reverences and then removes the luna and reposes the Blessed Sacrament. When the tabernacle doors close, all rise and proceed with the closing Hymn. HYMN HOLY GOD WE PRAISE THY NAME

All:Holy God, we praise Thy Name; Lord of all, we bow before Thee! All on earth Thy sceptre claim, All in Heaven above adore Thee; Infinite Thy vast domain, Everlasting is Thy reign. Hark! the loud celestial hymn Angel choirs above are raising, Cherubim and seraphim, In unceasing chorus praising; Fill the heavens with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy, Lord. Lo! the apostolic train Join the sacred Name to hallow; Prophets swell the loud refrain, And the white robed martyrs follow; And from morn to set of sun, Through the Church the song goes on. Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee; While in essence only One, Undivided God we claim Thee; And adoring bend the knee, While we own the mystery.

Thou art King of glory, Christ: Son of God, yet born of Mary; For us sinners sacrificed, And to death a tributary: First to break the bars of death, Thou has opened Heaven to faith. From Thy high celestial home, Judge of all, again returning, We believe that Thou shalt come In the dreaded doomsday morning; When Thy voice shall shake the earth, And the startled dead come forth. Therefore do we pray Thee, Lord: Help Thy servants whom, redeeming By Thy precious blood out-poured, Thou hast saved from Satan’s scheming. Give to them eternal rest In the glory of the blest. Spare Thy people, Lord, we pray, By a thousand snares surrounded: Keep us without sin today, Never let us be confounded. Lo, I put my trust in Thee; Never, Lord, abandon me.

This concludes the liturgy. May God be with you!!!
