Adoro Te Devote, Latens Deitas, Quæ Sub His Figuris Vere Latitas HIMNOS DE SANTO TOMÁS DE AQUINO Mediante la bula Transiturus hoc mundo (8 de septiembre de 1264), el papa Urbano IV instituía la solemnidad del Corpus Christi. Encomendó a Santo Tomás de Aquino preparar los textos para el Oficio divino y la Misa propia del día, que incluye himnos y secuencias. Los himnos más conocidos son: Adoro te devote, Lauda Sion Salvatorem, Pange Lingua, Verbum Supernum Prodiens (más conocido por su quinta estrofa: O salutaris ostia) y Pannis angelicus. ADORO TE DEVOTE Adoro te devote, latens Deitas, Te adoro con devoción, Dios escondido, Quæ sub his figuris vere latitas: oculto verdaderamente bajo estas apariencias. Tibi se cor meum totum subiicit, A ti se somete mi corazón por completo, Quia te contemplans totum deficit. y se rinde totalmente al contemplarte. Vista, tacto y gusto en ti fallan; Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur, pero basta el oído para creer con firmeza; Sed auditu solo tuto creditur. creo todo lo que ha dicho el Hijo de Dios: Credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius: nada es más verdadero Nihil hoc verbo Veritatis verius. que esta Palabra de verdad. In cruce latebat sola Deitas, En la Cruz se escondía sólo la Divinidad, At hic latet simul et humanitas; pero aquí se esconde también Ambo tamen credens atque confitens, la Humanidad; Peto quod petivit latro pænitens. sin embargo, creo y confieso ambas cosas, y pido lo que pidió aquel ladrón arrepentido. Plagas, sicut Thomas, non intueor; Deum tamen meum te confiteor. No veo las llagas como las vio Tomás Fac me tibi semper magis credere, pero confieso que eres mi Dios: haz que yo crea más y más en ti, In te spem habere, te diligere. que en ti espere y que te ame. O memoriale mortis Domini! ¡Memorial de la muerte del Señor! Panis vivus, vitam præstans homini! Pan vivo que das vida al hombre: Præsta meæ menti de te vivere concede a mi alma que de ti viva Et te illi semper dulce sapere. y que siempre saboree tu dulzura. Pie pellicane, Iesu Domine, Señor Jesús, Pelícano bueno, Me immundum munda tuo sanguine. límpiame a mí, inmundo, con tu Sangre, Cuius una stilla salvum facere de la que una sola gota puede liberar Totum mundum quit ab omni scelere. de todos los crímenes al mundo entero. Iesu, quem velatum nunc aspicio, Jesús, a quien ahora veo oculto, te ruego, Oro fiat illud quod tam sitio; que se cumpla lo que tanto ansío: que al mirar tu rostro cara a cara, Ut te revelata cernens facie, sea yo feliz viendo tu gloria. Amén. Visu sim beatus tuæ gloriæ. Amen LAUDA SION SALVATOREM 1 Lauda Sion Salvatórem 1.

  • Adoro Te Devote
    Adoro Te Devote Eucharistic Adoration in the Spirit of St Thomas Aquinas St Saviour’s Church, Dominick St (D1) Some of the best loved Eucharistic hymns - Adoro Te Devote, Tantum Ergo, Panis Angelicus - were written by one man, the Dominican Friar St. Thomas Aquinas. The Dominican Friars of St. Saviour's Priory, which has been in existence for nearly 800 years, will mark the 50th International Eucharistic Congress by inviting renowned preachers to explain the rich delights of these Eucharistic hymns, all in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, exposed for our veneration. The preachers include Wojciech Giertych OP, the Pope's personal theologian; Paul Murray OP, a celebrated spiritual writer; John Harris OP, well-known for his ministry to young people; and Terence Crotty OP, a Scripture scholar. The evening events will also include music and silent adoration, and will conclude with the Office of Compline, sung by the Dominican community, and the ancient tradition of the Salve Regina procession. Finally, on Saturday, St Saviour's will host a day-long festival of Eucharistic adoration. Come and join us, as we contemplate the source and summit of our faith, 'in which Christ is received, the memory of His Passion is renewed, the soul is filled with grace, and the pledge of future glory is given to us' (St Thomas Aquinas).

  • A Latin-To-Maltese Literary and Religious Translator Ivan Said*
    Fr Albert M. Grech O.P. (1883-1942): A Latin-to-Maltese literary and religious translator Ivan Said* The 1930s are considered to be a crucial era for modern Maltese: In 1934, the British Colonial Government recognised Maltese as an official language, together with English, ending once and for all the great Language Question which had dragged on since the previous century. Thus, Maltese became one of the official languages of the colony’s administration, used throughout the Law Courts and the Civil Service at the expense of the long-established Italian language. From the literary point of view, this decade gave us some of the best Maltese classics, both in prose and in poetry, particularly in 1938, the year our national poet Dun Karm completed his magnum opus Il-Jien u Lilhinn Minnu, Karmenu Fr Albert M. Grech O.P. Vassallo published his book of poems Nirien and the year when Ġino Muscat Azzopardi, Ġużè Aquilina, Ġużè Ellul Mercer and Ivo Muscat Azzopardi published their novels in Maltese. It was during this same year that Fr Albert M. Grech O.P., a Dominican Latinist, finished the translation from Latin to Maltese of the first two books of L-Enejjija, Vergil’s Aeneid. Two years earlier, this fervent lover of Maltese published L-Għanjiet dwar l-Ewkaristija, a translation from Latin of St Thomas Aquinas’ five Eucharistic hymns. Who was Fr Albert M. Grech O.P. Carlo Grech was born in Sliema on 7th October 1883 to Mikiel and Karmena Xuereb. On 22nd November 1898 he joined the Dominican Order and took the name of Albert.

THOMAS AQUINAS' SUMMA AND HYMN Name: Dobrozsi, Ambrose Tyler University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Dennis M. Doyle This thesis discusses the Eucharistic theology of St. Thomas Aquinas, focusing on the subject of Christ's true presence, within both the Summa Theologiae and four hymns which Aquinas composed for the feast of Corpus Christi. First, a historical survey is used to locate Aquinas within the history of the discussion of Christ's presence. Then, a separate theological analysis of St. Thomas' theology of Christ's presence first within the Summa and then within the hymns. Finally, the theological content of both hymns and theology are used to deepen the understanding of each, and build toward a Eucharistic theology drawing from both sources. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My first and primary thanks go to Dr.

  • Liturgy of the Hours Vespers for Corpus Christi
    Liturgy of the Hours Vespers for Corpus Christi PRELUDE: Verbum Supernum Prodiens Nicolas de Grigny “Verbum Supernum Prodiens” is a Gregorian Chant hymn that is sung at Lauds on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. Lauds is a form of morning prayer that closely resembles these Vespers tonight. During the time when this selection was composed, the organ was viewed as a replacement for voices and offered the voices a rest on a particular verse. The organ proclaimed the verse on behalf of the singers leading the liturgy. The historical performance practice would suggest that verse 1 would be sung, verse 2 would be played, verse 3 would be sung, etc. Organ composers of the late 17th century would compose music that painted the text of all the verses leaving to the performer options of which to sing or play. This particular selection is an exception because verses 5 and 6 “O Salutaris Hostia” were always sung. The Prelude will include verses 1-4 of the chant, and de Grigny’s first 3 organ selections. Text and translation are on the final page of this worship aid. EXPOSITION: O Salutaris Hostia Giulio Bentivoglio ANTIPHON (CANTOR) Christ the Lord is a priest for ever in the line of Melchizedek; he offered up bread and wine. PSALM 110 CANTOR: The Lord's revelation to my Master: "Sit on my right: your foes I will put be-neath your feet." The Lord will wield from Zion ALL: your scepter of power: rule in the midst of all your foes. A prince from the day of your birth on the ho-ly mountains; from the womb before the dawn I be-got you.

  • Hymns for Corpus Christi
    Hymns for Corpus Christi Introduction When Pope Urban IV instituted the feast of Corpus Christi in 1264 for the universal Church he commissioned St Thomas Aquinas to compose the texts for Mass and the Office. These included the hymns for the various hours of the Divine Office which are still sung to this day. One of the characteristics of all the hymns is that two verses, generally the last two, have been sung indepently of the whole text. For example, the last two verses of the hymn for Evening Prayer (Pange lingua) are familiar in their own right — Tantum ergo Sacramentum. In this document it has been indicated in the title for the Hymns. As well as St Thomas Aquinas’ original Latin texts English translations have also been provided. Where possible, two have been included. The first from one of the great translators of hymns in the 19th century; the second from James Quinn sj, who probably made the most important contribution to Catholic hymnody in these islands in the latter half of the 20th century. It is his translations which are used in the current Divine Office. Recently a collected edition of his hymns, Hymns for all seasons edited by Paul Inwood. has been published by Oregon Catholic Press (2017). A couple of additional texts have been included. Adoro te devote though not written for the Office of Corpus Christi it is understood originally to have been a private devotion of St Thomas Aquinas. O sacrum convivium is the Magnificat antiphon for Evening Prayer II and as well as an eloquent expression of the theology of the feast it is a text which has been set by many composers.

  • A Medieval Liturgist
    A MEDIEVAL LITURGIST ARTHUR O'CONNELL, O.P. HOUGH he was in many ways far in advance of his age, St. Thomas Aquinas was, like all great men, a true child of his own period. He is indeed at one and the same time the symbol of his century as well as one of its most brilliant products. Sharing to the full the social, intellectual and cultural her­ itage of a world made one by the bonds of a common Christian tra­ dition, he was in every sense a true medieval, who took for himself what was best and most enduring in the greatest of centuries and labored to pass it on to future generations. Not the least of the glories of that age of faith was the universal devotion of Christendom to the liturgy. Knowledge and love of the Church's official prayer was not confined to the monasteries. There were laymen who recited the canonical Hours daily like priests and monks. It was not unusual that liturgical prayer in common be in­ cluded as part of the daily horarium even in royal households. The monasteries that followed the advancing borders of Christianity had made the whole of Europe familiar with the Church's solemn func­ tions, even aside from the essentials, the Mass and the Sacraments. Ploughmen and shepherds marked their days by the regular sound of bells that called the monks to prayer; seasons were marked by the festivals of the Saints as precisely for men of that day as they are by the calendar for men of this.

Thomas Kennealy, S.J. Abstract: Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote five Eucharistic hymns, and four of them are included among the liturgical texts for the Feast of Corpus Christi. This essay seeks to analyze these five hymns using a classical methodology. In short, this classical methodology consists of paying close attention to rhetorical devices—especially the micro-level details of diction, syntax, and word-order. The first chapter argues that Saint Thomas Aquinas approached his hymns with a mindset comparable in some respects to that of the ancient Roman poets.
