The Divine Praises
The traditional litany of praise prayed after Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, composed by Fr. Luigi Felici in 1797.
The Divine Praises are a litany of praise recited after Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, composed by Fr. Luigi Felici in 1797. They begin Blessed be God and run through the names of Jesus, Mary and the saints. Originally prayed as reparation for blasphemy, they are a joyous way to end adoration or a day. Repeating them aloud in a group gives a sense of the Church's unity. They include lines such as Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true man, and Blessed be his most precious blood. They are a joyful end to adoration and teach the language of reverence. They can also be said at home before a crucifix.
