Divine Praises (Laudes Divinae) — after Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament

Prayer of reparation composed in the 18th century in Italian, published by the Jesuit Luigi Felici SJ in 1797 in his Operetta sopra le bestemmie — a direct response to the blasphemies against God, against the Most Holy Name, and against Mary, common in his time. Pius VII, by decree of the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences of 23 January 1801, granted indulgence to the faithful who recite them in reparation for blasphemies. By universal custom, they are recited immediately after the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, with the Blessed Sacrament still exposed, alternated between the priest and the people. Each invocation is followed by the repeated response.

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 Saint Joseph, her most chaste spouse.

Blessed be God in his Angels and in his Saints.

Amen.
