TRADITIONAL PRAYERS: Ave Verum

After Sunday will celebrate the Ascension of the Lord, today I bring you a new installment of the traditional prayers. It is this time of "Ave verum corpus" , better known as "Ave verum", meaning "Hail, true body".

seems that is a very ancient hymn of the Middle Ages, specifically the fourteenth century, and has been attributed to Pope Innocent VI. It is a liturgical hymn of the Eucharist itself, sings the belief in transubstantiation, that is, that is enshrined as the 'real body' of Christ, as in the wine is his blood. Just sung just after the consecration and is a beautiful hymn about Christ's presence in the Eucharist.

In these times when so many many times to attack the Catholic Church for no other reason than the hatred of a confession and an ancient faith, but do not read these hymns to comfort, despite the daily sufferings, and to strengthen our faith in God.

I leave you with the Latin version of "Ave verum" and its translation into Castilian as well as a musical version, that of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , which is the known of all. It's a beautiful performance, led by Leonard Bernstein . Hope you like it.

Ave Verum Corpus

Ave verum corpus, natum

De Maria Virgine,

passum Vere, immolatum

In cruce pro homine,

deceased latus perforatum

Unda fluxit et sanguine,

Esto nobis praegustatum

In mortis exanime.  

O Iesu dulcis, o Iesu pie, o Iesu, Fili Mariae.  

SALVE, VERDADERO CUERPO  

Salve, Verdadero Cuerpo nacido  

de la Virgen María,

truly tormented, killed

on the cross for mankind,

whose pierced side

flowed water and blood

Be for us a foretaste

in the throes of death.

Oh, sweet Jesus, O merciful Jesus,

oh, Jesus son of Mary!

May God bless and Mary protect you forever. Until we meet again.
