Can anyone point me to the correct revision to the translation of the Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament? I have looked at several resources and each one seems to offer a different translation.
 
Would this be published in the new Lectionary corrected translation? If so you might want to check with Ignatius Press. Magnificat Publications is the only other source I would trust online.
 
Benediction is not a formal liturgy like the Mass and the LOTH. I wonder if there is an official format or wording. There seem to be some prescribed actions, but the prayers and hymns all seem to say “…the following — or other appropriate ----.

USCCB on Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament:

“Eucharistic exposition and benediction are no longer considered devotions, but rather are a part of the Church’s official liturgy. Whereas in the past benediction was frequently added on to the end of another service or devotion, this is no longer permitted. Eucharistic exposition and benediction is a complete liturgical service in its own right and is to be celebrated as such.”
