Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum;
Dat panis caelicus f
iguris terminum:
O res mirabilis!
manducat Dominum
Pauper, pauper,
servus et humilis.
(St Thomas Aquinas)
May the bread of angels
become bread for mankind;
the bread of heaven puts
all foreshadowings to an end;
Oh, thing miraculous!
The body of the Lord will nourish
the poor, the poor,
the servile, and the humble.
