Ave verum corpus, natum de Maria Virgine, vere passum, immolatum in
cruce pro homine, cuius latus perforatum fluxit aqua et sanguine: esto nobis
praegustatum in mortis examine.O dulcis, O
pie, O Jesu, fili Mariae. Miserere mei. Amen.
Hail true body, you who hung on the cross
for the sake of humanity, from whose side flowed both water and blood. Be our food
both now and at our death. O sweet, O holy Jesus, son of Mary, have mercy on
us. (Innocent VI)
