AVE VERUM CORPUS

Ave Verum Corpus

Ave verum Corpus natum
De Maria Virgine:
Vere passum, immolatum
In cruce pro homine:
Cuius latus perforatum
Fluxit aqua et sanguine:
Esto nobis praegustatum
Mortis in examine.
O Iesu dulcis!
O Iesu pie!
O Iesu Fili Mariae. Amen

Hail, true Body, truly born Of the Virgin Mary mild,
Truly offered, wracked and torn,
On the Cross for all defiled,
From Whose love-pierced, sacred side
Flowed Thy true Blood's saving tide:
Be a foretaste sweet to me
In my death's great agony.
O my loving Gentle One,
Sweetest Jesus, Mary's Son.

"Take; this is my body."
And he took a cup,
and when he had given thanks
he gave it to them,
and they drank all of it.
And he said to them,
"This is my blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many."
Mark 14

"Behold, I make all things new."
Revelation 21

"You are my friends, and the greatest love a person can have for his friends is to give his life for them."

O my God, good Jesus,
Although I am in every way without merit and unworthy,
grant to me,
who did not merit to be present at these events
in the body,
that I may ponder them faithfully
in my mind
and experience toward you,
my God crucified and put to death for me,
that feeling of compassion
which your innocent mother and the penitent Magdalene experienced
at the hour of your passion.

(St. Bonaventure, “The Tree of Life”)
