PANIS

Latn
Panis angelicus fit panis hominum; dat panis coelicus figuris terminum: O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum pauper, servus, et humilis. Te trina Deitas unaque poscimus: sic nos tu visita, sicut te colimus. Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus, ad lucem quam inhabitas. Amen

ANGELICUS
Castellano English
The angelic bread becomes the bread of men, the heavenly bread ends all prefigurations: What wonder! The Lord is eaten by a poor and humble servant. Triune God, we beg of you: visit us, just as we worship you. By your ways, lead us where we're heading, to the light in which you dwell. Amen

El pan de los ngeles se convierte en pan de los hombres, y resulta ser pan del cielo que da fin a lo simblico: Oh, qu maravilla! Se alimenta del Seor el pobre, siervo y humilde. Te rogamos, divina Trinidad, una en tres: hazte as presente entre nosotros, como te rogamos. Por tus caminos guanos adonde anhelamos, a la luz en la que moras. Amn

Panis Angelicus es uno de los cinco himnos escritos por Santo Toms de Aquino para la Fiesta de Corpus Christi como parte de la liturgia completa de la Fiesta, incluyendo oraciones para la Misa y la Liturgia de las Horas. Realmente son las dos ltimas estrofas de las siete de las que se compone el himno Sacris Solemniis, que extradas del conjunto se cantan como antfona. Los otros cuatro himnos escritos por Santo Toms son O Salutaris Hostia (Verbum Supernum Prodiens), Adoro te devote, Pange lingua y Tantum Ergo (en realidad las dos ltimas estrofas del Pange Lingua).
............... "The Bread of Angels" - this is often used as a Benediction hymn, for obvious reasons. It directs us to contemplate the great mystery of becoming one with Jesus Himself whenever we receive Him. God Himself becomes our nourishment! It then proceeds to ask Jesus for the grace to save our souls, so that we can join the citizens of Heaven, seeing Him forever in "the light in which Thou dwellest". This is taken from "Sacris Solemniis", written by St. Thomas Aquinas before the year 1274. It is the Matins hymn for Corpus Christi, the great feast of the Body of Christ when the Church turns our attention to the great Gift of the Eucharist. Jesus gave us this precious Gift of Himself so that He might always be with us. There are many melodies for this hymn, both Chant and modern. There are at least 3 Chant melodies, 2 modern melodies, and probably many more for this hymn. Whatever the melody, it is a beautiful hymn, worthy of the great Saint Thomas Aquinas -- the Common Doctor of the Church.
