Benediction is one of the most beautiful and moving ceremonies in Catholic liturgy.  For full details,  see Benediction.

Hymns and Prayers at Benediction written by St Thomas Aquinas:

                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.

 

                Tantum Ergo
