Why are the Divine Praises sung?

The Divine Praises is a Roman Catholic prayer and a customary part of the liturgy of Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. They are sung in order to make reparation for blasphemy. This text of the prayer is as follows: * 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 St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse. * Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints.


What does blessed be the name of the lord mean?

This is a translation of a congregational response from the Hebrew liturgy used in the time of the Temple in Jerusalem. When the High Priest pronounced the Tetragrammaton, the 4-letter name of God, those who heard the name would respond “Baruch Shem kevod malchuto le’olam va’ed,” meaning something like "blessed be the holy Name, who's glorious kingdom is forever and ever." To this day, in the Jewish liturgy, it is said after the Shema ("Hear oh Israel, the Lord your God the Lord is One.") In Eastern Orthodoxy, this has become a final congregational response, expanded into a hymn, at the end of the liturgy. Given the difficulty of translation, this is also attributed to Psalm 113:2 -- the Hebrew there is significantly different, but when rendered into English (or Latin, or High Church Slavonic) it can be the same: "Yehe Shem Adonai m'varech, meata v'ad olam," meaning literally "May the Name of the Lord be blessed, from now to forever" (my translation). Psalm 113 is the first of the Hallel psalms, recited in the Jewish liturgy on pilgrimage festivals and new moons).
