Capitulum
Dominus Iesus Christus in qua nocte tradebatur, accepit panem, et gratias agens fregit, et dixit: Accipite et manducate: hoc est corpus meum quod pro vobis tradetur; hoc facite in meam commemorationem.
The Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.

Response
Contra, Virgo flagelatur, de sancta Catharina.
Hymn: Pange lingua gloriosi Contra, Pange lingua gloriosi praelium certaminis. In Passione domini.
Raise your voice to praise the glorious
Body under mystery,
with the Blood so pure and precious
which in payment for the world
Son of Mary's womb most noble,
King of all the nations shed.

For us given, for us brought forth
from the Virgin never touched.
In the world he lived and traveled,
spreading seed of saving word.
Then the days he spent among us
he brought to a wondrous end.

On the night of his last supper
with his brothers he reclined.
He did all the Law commanded,
setting out the food prescribed.
To the band of twelve Apostles
handed he himself as food.

Word made flesh took bread and blessed it,
by a word turned it to flesh.
Wine became Christ's blood the same way,
even though it can't be sensed.
All a heart sincere requires
is to rest on faith alone.

So this sacrament most awesome
let us venerate bowed down.
Let the olden Law's observance
yield to new and perfect rites.
Let our faith supply completely
where our senses cannot cope.

To the Father, to the Son be
jubilation, shouts of praise,
honor to our mighty Savior,
acclamations, endless thanks.
To the Spirit from both flowing
be like honor without end.

V/. Panem de caelo praestitisti eis.
R/. Omne delectamentum suavitatis in se habentem. 		V/. You gave them bread from heaven.
V/. Containing every sweet delight.

Oratio
Deus qui nobis sub sacramento mirabili passionis tuae memoriam reliquisti, tribue, quaesumus, ita nos corporis et sanguinis tui sacra mysteria venerari, ut redemptionis tuae fructum in nobis iugiter sentiamus. Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo patre in unitate spiritus sancti Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.
God, in this wonderful sacrament you left us a memorial of your Passion. Enable us, we ask, so to venerate the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood, that we may always fell the fruit of your redemption in us. You live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
