THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST JUNE 3, 2018

1220 University Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80521 Parish OfLice: (970) 484 -3356 | http://saintjohn.church Find us on Facebook! www.facebook.com/RamCatholic Corpus Christi: Our Debt to Adapted from an article by Stephanie A. Mann

St. Thomas Aquinas, saint and doctor of the Church, is perhaps best known for his scholarship and as patron saint of students and universities. His great works, the two Summas ( Theologi- ca and Summa Contra Gentiles) are mainstays of classic , and popes from St. Pius V to Ben- edict XVI have praised his work. Beyond those works, however, and the foundation they provide for Catholic theology, St. Thomas Aquinas’ hymns for the great Solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ are also influential works, as they have given us the language of worship and devotion to the Holy Eucharist.

St. Thomas Aquinas wrote the liturgy for Corpus Christi when Pope Urban IV added the Solemnity to the universal Church’s liturgical calendar in 1264. He provided a great sequence, one of the great poems chanted or recited before the proclamation of the Gospel. At one time the Church had many sequences for different feasts and Masses (including the Dies Irae in the Requiem Mass), but now we have only three: Victimae Pas- chali Laudes (Christians, To the Paschal Victim) for Easter Sun- day; Veni Sancte Spiritus (Come, Holy Spirit) for Pentecost, and Salvatorem (Sion, Lift Up thy Voice and Sing), for Corpus Christi:

Sion, lift thy voice and sing: Praise thy Savior and thy King; Praise with hymns thy Shepherd true: Dare thy most to praise Him well; For He doth all praise excel; None can ever reach His due. Special theme of praise is Thine, That true living Bread divine, That life -giving flesh adored, Which the brethren twelve received, As most faithfully believed, At the Supper of the Lord. Let the chant be loud and high; Sweet and tranquil be the joy Felt to -day in every breast; On this festival divine Which recounts the origin The Eucharisc (the Corporal of Of the glorious Eucharist. Bolsena) in procession in 2014 in Orvieto, Italy. This is the miracle that inspired Pope Urban and Saint Thomas to instute This sequence urges us not only to praise , but to do it well, with this great Solemnity of Corpus Chris. hymns and chants expressing joy and festivity.

...In his 2003 encyclical on the Holy Eucharist, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, Blessed John Paul II praised these hymns and poems of the Solemnity of Corpus Christi: “Let us make our own the words of Saint Thomas Aquinas, an eminent theologian and an impassioned poet of Christ in the Eucharist, and turn in hope to the contemplation of that goal to which our hearts aspire in their thirst for joy and peace”. Each of these hymns provides great doctrinal statements of the of the Incarnation, the Paschal Mystery, and the Eucharist while expressing devotion to Jesus Christ as Lord and Redeemer.
