Question:
Answer:
As the Archdiocese of Detroit explains:
The Divine Praises are not required in the format of the revised ritual. Their recitation occurred immediately after the blessing and before the reposition. In the present rite they may be sung or recited as acclamations during reposition or may be included during one of the periods of prayer during the time of exposition. (Order for Solemn Exposition of the Holy Eucharist, #148 – 150)
In the USA most hymnals that include adoration have the priest or deacon repose the Blessed Sacrament immediately following the benediction and then have the Divine Praises as an option to be recited thereafter. Common custom, however, appears to have the priest or deacon place the monstrance back on the altar following the benediction and repose the Eucharist immediately following the divine praises.
In my personal experience I have only rarely heard of parishes that repose the Blessed Sacrament prior to the divine praises. However, those few who do so are correct in their actions.
