This was sung at Latin Choral Mass yesterday at Holy Ghost
Catholic Church in Denver. Beautiful . . .
The 'Ave Verum" by, of course, Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart (1756-1791 Austrian Composer).
This hymn brings you to the centre of our Catholic Faith,
that is Christ in the Eucharist!
The Eucharist gives us a 'foretaste' of Heaven. In the
reception of 'Communion' we receive Christ Himself("Body, Blood, Soul and
Divinity).
Christ truly enters into us and imparts to us His Holy Spirit
of Love and Truth.
After Communion I often say, "Jesus, it is good for us
(me) to be here." during my 'thanksgiving'!
Ave, verum corpus
natum de Maria Virgine,
Vere passum immolatum
in Cruce pro homine,
Cujus latus perforatum
unda fluxit et sanguine,
Esto nobis praegustatum
in mortis examine.
Hail, true Body,
born of the Virgin Mary,
who having truly suffered,
was sacrificed on the cross for mankind,
whose pierced side flowed with water and blood:
May it be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet] in the
trial of death.
