    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).

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.

  • The Lutheran Identity of Josquin's Missa Pange Lingua
    Early Music History (2017) Volume 36. © Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S0261127917000031 Alanna Ropchock Tierno Email: [email protected] THE LUTHERAN IDENTITY OF JOSQUIN’S MISSA PANGE LINGUA: RENAISSANCE OF A RENAISSANCE MASS In sixteenth-century Germany, both Catholics and Lutherans circulated and performed Josquin’s Missa Pange lingua, even though its model, the hymn Pange lingua, was associated with Eucharistic practices that were exclusively Catholic. This source-based study reveals how Lutherans selected the Missa Pange lingua for performance over other available masses and adapted it for their liturgical and pedagogical needs. Two printed sources of the mass offer perspectives on how Lutherans might have negotiated the polemical rituals and theology associated with the Missa Pange lingua alongside an aes- thetic interest in the work. The intention of this study is not to de-emphasise the connection between the Missa Pange lingua and its borrowed melody or the initial Catholic identity of the mass. Rather, the Lutheran identity of the Missa Pange lingua provides an addi- tional layer to the early reception history of this work and a case study of the Lutheran appropriation of Catholic music. A borrowed melody in a polyphonic Mass Ordinary setting is fun- damental to the identity of that composition. Masses are often labelled Portions of this study were presented at the 80th Annual Meeting of the American Musicological Society in Milwaukee (November 2014), the Medieval and Renaissance Music Conference in Birmingham, UK (July 2014), at Case Western Reserve University, and at Masarykova univerzita (Brno, Czech Republic).

  • REJOICE in the LORD Cardinal Joseph W
    REJOICE in the LORD Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R. Archbishop of Newark July 2, 2021 / Vol. 2, No. 20 Celebrating the eucharistic mystery Sing, my tongue, the Savior's glory, of His Flesh, the mystery sing; of the Blood, all price exceeding, destined, for the world's redemption, from a noble Womb to spring. "Pange Lingua Gloriosi Corporis Mysterium" is a hymn text written by St Thomas Aquinas (1225– 1274) for the Feast of Corpus Christi, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. It is also sung on Holy Thursday during the procession from the church to the place where the Blessed Sacrament is kept until Good Friday. The last two stanzas, called separately "Tantum Ergo," are sung at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The hymn proclaims the eucharistic mystery in which, according to our faith, the bread and wine are changed into the body and blood of Christ, and we who partake of this sacred meal become what we receive, the Body of Christ. We think of Thomas Aquinas as a brilliant thinker who taught philosophy and theology, and so he was. But St. Thomas was also a man of fervent prayer and intense devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. His early biographers wrote that this great scholar, who was also a popular preacher, would lean his head against the Tabernacle, as if to feel the throbbing of Jesus' divine and human heart! For Aquinas, all knowledge comes through the five senses of sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. Could it be that he was trying to know the Lord more intimately by feeling his presence more intensely? Pope Francis would call this "closeness," the kind of intimacy that each of us is called to have with Jesus and with one another.

  • 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.

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.

  • The Office of Corpus Christi
    THE OFFICE OF CORPUS CHRISTI In the latter half of the thirteenth century there ascended the Throne of St. Peter, under the name of Urban IV, a man whose previous priestly ministry had been character­ ized by incessant activity in promoting devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Previous to that time limited ec­ clesiastical jurisdiction had restricted the zealous endeavors of the future Vicar of Christ in behalf of his Divine Master. But upon being invested with supreme authority, Urban IV was in a position to effect the realization of his long-cherished wish to see the Most Holy Eucharist solemnly and publicly honored through­ out the entire Church. Accordingly, the Feast of Corpus Christi (Body of Christ) was established.1 This great feast, celebrated on the first Thursday after Trinity Sunday, renders a very special honor to the Blessed Sacrament by a solemn commemoration of its institution. By virtue of the Bull of Urban IV, the universal Church w~s urged to gather annually around the Sacrificial Table of the New Paschal Lamb and to chant ecclesiastically approved canticles of praise and thanksgiving. But who was worthy and capable of composing the new canticle in memory of the Last Supper, the Office of the Feast of Corpus Christi? There needs must be an­ other master of psalmody like David able to express in fitting language the Divine mercy as manifested in the Eucharist, the miracle of mercy. The occasion demanded another Beloved Dis­ ciple who had rested upon the bosom of the Eucharistic Master . and could interpret the pulsations of the Heart of love.

  • Th Eucharistic Hymns of St. Thomas Aquinas
    THE EUCHARISTIC HYMNS OF ST. THOMAS AQUINAS By BRO. MARTIN SHEA, 0. P. T. THOMAS AQUINAS was to much preoccupied with varied duties to devote much time to writing poetry. [I His ventures in verse, so far as we know, can be counted on the fingers of one hand/ and carrying out his scheme of unity, these five hymns relate to one subject-the Holy Eu­ charist. The five hymns written by St. Thomas are Lauda Sion, Pange Lingua, Sacris Solemniis, Verbum Supernum and the Adoro Te Devote. It is worth noting that Mandonnet says this last hymn should read not Adoro but Oro.2 0 Esca Viatorum is sometimes ascribed to St. Thomas, but Duffield in his "Latin Hymns" rejects it with the significant remark that it is less masculine than the authentic work of the Angelic Doctor (pg. 268); however, Grabmann in die Echten Schriften des Hl. Thomas von Aquin convincingly argues for its authenticity and quotes Father Heiler calling it one of the most beautiful of the mystical hymns. But since the authenticity of the Adoro Te is frequently contested we will not include it in our study. With these five productions totalling thirty-eight stanzas and one hundred and eighty-eight verses Thomas Aquinas has gained for himself the reputation of being one of the great triumvirate of ecclesiastical poets completed by Thomas of Celano and J acoponus, the reputed authors of the "Dies I rae" and the "Stabat Mater" respectively. Thomas Gray won a unique place in English literature for something far less than the accomplishment of the Angelic Doctor : he is known as the one great master of the English language that gained immortality by writing only fourteen hundred verses ; Thomas Aquinas is recognized as one of the great hymnologists of all languages although he produced only one hundred and eigthy-eight lines.
