O Salutaris Hostia,
Quae caeli pandis pstium:
Bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur fer auxilium.
Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria:
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria.

INVITATION TO PRAISE
!
Presider:
!
Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, source of every perfect gift, who
has bestowed on us in Christ, every spiritual blessing in the heavens. God chose us in him
before the world began to be holy and blameless in his sight. (cf. Eph. 1, 3-4)
!
R. Glory and praise to you, forever.
!
Praised be Jesus Christ, wellspring of every blessing. Though he was in the form of God,
he did not deem equality with God something to be grasped at. Rather, he emptied
himself and took the form of a slave, being born in the likeness of men. (cf. Phil. 2, 6-7)
