 
O SACRAMENT MOST HOLY
O SACRAMENT DIVINE
ALL PRAISE AND ALL THANKSGIVING
BE EVERY MOMENT THINE
"In thy presence there is fullness of joy."
(Psalms 16:11)
Benediction is a divine proportioned act of worship. With a deep meditation and silence, we begin contemplating God's presence in our midst. Then follows the prayers and actual sacramental blessings by the priest who makes the Sign of the Cross over us with the host enthroned in the monstrance. Finally, we make our response in words of praise and thanksgiving.
O saving Victim o-p'ning wide.
The gate of heaven to man below!
Our foes press on from ev'ry side;
Thine aid supply, thy strength bestow.
To thy great name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, one in three;
Oh, grant us endless length of days
In our true native land with thee.
Amen
Down in adoration falling,
Lo! The Sacred Host we Hail!
Lo! o'er anicent forms departing,
Newer rites of grace previal.
Senses cannot grasp the marvel;
Faith must serve to compensate.
Praise and glorify the father,
Bless his Son's life-giving name,
Singing their eternal Godhead,
Power, majesty and fame,
Offering their Holy Spirit
Equal worship and acclaim.
Amen.
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.
Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother.
Blessed be St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse.
Blessed be God in his angels and in his saints.
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Chirst, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from thee.
From the malicious enemy defend me.
In the hour of my death call me
and bid me come unto thee
That with thy saints
I may praise thee forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer of St. Faustina before the Eucharist
I adore You, Lord and Creator, hidden in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I adore You for all the works of Your hands, that reveal to me so much wisdom, goodness and mercy, O Lord. You have spread so much beauty over the earth and it tells me about Your beauty, even though these beautiful things are but a faint reflection of You, incomprehensible Beauty. And although You have hidden Yourself and concealed Your beauty, my eye, enlightened by faith, reaches You and my soul recognizes its Creator, its Highest Good, and my heart is completely immersed in prayer of adoration.
My Lord and Creator, Your goodness encourages me to converse with You. Your mercy abolishes the chasm which separates the Creator from the creature. To converse with You, O Lord, is the delight of my heart. In You I find everything that my heart could desire. Here You light illumines my mind, enabling it to know You more and more deeply. Here streams of graces flow down upon my heart. Here my soul draws eternal life. O my Lord and Creator, You alone, beyond all these gifts, give Your own self to me and unite Yourself intimately with Your miserable creature.
O Christ, let my greatest delight be to see You loved and Your praise and glory proclaimed, especially the honor of Your mercy. O Christ, let me glorify Your goodness and mercy to the last moment of my life, with every drop of my blood and every beat of my heart. Would that I be transformed into a hymn of adoration of You. When I find myself on my deathbed, may the last beat of my heart be a loving hymn glorifying Your unfathomable mercy. Amen.
