The people should enter first inside the chapel, and, as they enter, they are advised to kneel. The Cross and candle bearers should wait
for the priest holding the Blessed Sacrament to enter the door of the chapel. As they reach the altar, the cross and candle bearer will
make a profound bow at the altar then go to their designated area and kneel. The servers that will remain at the altar are as follows:
censer and boat, book and microphone bearer, humeral veil bearer, Master of Ceremonies and the priest. The priest will place the
Monstrance at the altar table. The singing of the Christus Vincit, the incensation of the Blessed Sacrament by the server, as well as the
ringing of the bell ends. The priest now will intone the following hymn:

Hymn: Tantum Ergo

Tantum ergo Sacramentum,
veneremur cernui;
et antiquum documentum
novo cedat ritui;
prstet fides supplementum
sensuum defectui.
Genitori, Genitoque
laus et iubilatio;
salus, honor, virtus quoque
sit et benedictio:
procedenti ab utroque
compare sit laudatio. Amen. Amen.

The priest incenses the Blessed Sacrament. After the song, the following prayer is said:

Priest:
All:
Priest:

All:

You have given them bread from heaven

Having within it all sweetness
Let us pray.
O God,
who in this wonderful Sacrament
left us a memorial of your Passion:
grant, we implore you,
that we may so venerate
the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood,
as always to be conscious
of the fruit of your Redemption.
You who live and reign forever and ever.
Amen.
Benediction

After the prayer, the humeral veil bearer will place the veil on the priests shoulder. The priest will genuflect and take the Mons trance.

and the bell should be ring until the sign of the cross is completed. Afterwards the priest removes the humeral veil and, together with
