R. Omne delectaimentum in se habentem.

R. Having in it the sweetness of every taste.

[In Easter-tide, and during the octave of Corpus Christi, Alleluia is added to V. and R.]

Rising, he sings the following prayer:

Oremus.

DEUS, qui nobis, sub sacramento mirabili, passionis tuæ memoriam reliquisti: tribue, quæsumus, ita nos corporis et sanguinis tui sacra mysteria venerari, ut redemptionis tuæ fructum in nobis jugiter sentiamus. Qui vivis et regnas in sæcula sæculorum.

O God, who, under a wonderful Sacrament, hast left unto us a memorial of Thy passion: grant us, we beseech Thee, so to venerate the sacred mysteries of Thy Body and Blood that we may ever perceive within ourselves the fruits of Thy Redemption: Who livest and reignest, world without end.

R. Amen.

R. Amen.

The Benediction Veil is now placed upon the shoulders of the Priest. He ascends the steps of the Altar, takes the Monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament in his hands, and solemnly and in silence makes with It the sign of the Cross over the kneeling people. (Meanwhile a bell is rung by an acolyte.)

After the Blessed Sacrament has been replaced in the Tabernacle all rise and sing:

Psalm 116.

LAUDATE Dominum, omnes gentes: laudate eum, omnes populi.

O PRAISE the Lord, all ye nations: praise Him, all ye people.
