From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"O sacrum convivium " is a
Latin prose text honoring the
Blessed Sacrament . It is included as an
antiphon to the
Magnificat in the
vespers of the
liturgical office on the feast of
Corpus Christi . The text of the office has been attributed to
Saint Thomas Aquinas .
[1]
[2]
Its sentiments express the profound affinity of the
Eucharistic celebration, described as a banquet, to the
Paschal mystery : "O sacred banquet at which Christ is consumed, the memory of his Passion is recalled, our souls are filled with grace, and the pledge of future glory is given to us."
[3]
Original Latin (punctuation from
Liber Usualis )
O sacrum convivium!
in quo Christus sumitur:
recolitur memoria passionis eius:
mens impletur gratia:
et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur.
Alleluia.
Translation of original Latin
O sacred banquet!
in which Christ is received,
the memory of his Passion is renewed,
the mind is filled with grace,
and a pledge of future glory to us is given.
Alleluia.
