Bring Him all the praise you know.
MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE,
PRAY FOR US.
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup,
you proclaim the death of the Lord until He comes.
(1 Cor 11:26)
Happy Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.
As we continue to pray for the peace the world cannot give, we look to the Sequence Laud, O Zion and pray: And His rule for guidance taking, Bread and wine we hallow, making Thus our sacrifice of peace. Lord, I am not worthy that you enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. Heart of Jesus, bread of life, have mercy on us.
O precious and wonderful banquet, that brings us salvation and contains all sweetness! Could anything be of more intrinsic value? ... What could be more wonderful than this? No other sacrament has greater healing power; through it sins are purged away, virtues are increased, and the soul is enriched with an abundance of every spiritual gift.
("On the feast of Corpus Christi", by Saint Thomas Aquinas, in Office of Readings, for the Solemnity of Corpus Christi)
