Here's a thought for the next time you're kneeling or sitting in front of the Blessed Sacrament...

Be Silent.

Be still.

Alone, empty,

before your God.

Say Nothing.

Ask Nothing.

Be Silent.

Let your God look upon you.

That is all.

He Knows.

He understands.

He loves you with an enormous love.

He only wants to look upon you

with His love.

Quiet.

Be still.

Let your God love you.

God bless

O SALUTARIS O salutaris Hostia!
Quae caeli 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 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.


TANTUM ERGO Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.

Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et iubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
Amen.

Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! oe'r 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
Holy Ghost from Both proceeding
Forth from Each eternally,
Be salvation, honor blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
Amen.
