Corpus Christi

Happy feast of Corpus Christi! A momentous occasion here, with the local high school having its graduation ceremony today!
Here's a song to express the idea of today. We sang it at Regional Honor Choir and it was my favorite one we did.


Words (by St. Thomas Aquinas):

O sacrum convivium, in quo Christus sumitur;
recolitur memoria passionis ejus;
mens impletur gratia;
et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur.
(Alleluia)

O sacred banquet, wherein Christ is received;
the memorial of his passion is renewed;
the soul is filled with grace;
and a pledge of future glory is given to us.
(Alleluia)
