Fidelity to the Word
A blog dedicated to Christ Jesus our Lord and His True Presence
The Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread, and giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye and eat, this is My Body which shall be delivered for you; this do for the commemoration of Me. In like manner also the chalice.

Creator Alme Siderum
CREATOR alme siderum, aeterna lux credentium, Iesu, Redemptor omnium, intende votis supplicum. |
eternal light of faithful souls, Jesus, Redeemer of mankind, our humble prayers vouchsafe to mind: |
Qui daemonis ne fraudibus periret orbis, impetu amoris actus, languidi, mundi medela factus es, |
Who, lest the fraud of hell's black king should all men to destruction bring, didst, by an act of generous love, the fainting world's physician prove. |
Commune qui mundi nefas ut expiares, ad crucem e Virginis sacrario intacta prodis victima. |
and wash the stains of sin away, didst from a Virgin's womb proceed and on the Cross a Victim bleed. |
Cuius potestas gloriae, et caelites et inferi tremente curvantur genu. |
Thy glorious power, Thy saving Name no sooner any voice can frame, but heaven and earth and hell agree to honor them with trembling knee. |
Te, deprecamur ultimae magnum diei Iudicem, armis supernae gratiae defende nos ab hostibus. |
Thee, Christ, who at the latter day shalt be our Judge, we humbly pray such arms of heavenly grace to send as may Thy Church from foes defend. |
Virtus, honor, laus, gloria Deo Patri cum Filio, Sancto simul Paraclito, in saeculorum saecula. |
Be glory given and honor done to God the Father and the Son and to the Holy Ghost on high, from age to age eternally. |
