Listen to O Sacrum Convivium:
O sacrum convivium, in quo Christus sumitur;
recolitur memoria passionis ejus;
mens impletur gratia;
et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur. (Alleluia)
Panem de caelo praestitisti eis
Omnem delectamentum in se habentem.
English Translation:
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)
You gave them bread from heaven
Containing in itself all sweetness. [i]
