Brethren: For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread, and giving thanks, broke, and said: “Take ye and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me.”
They sing:
Pange, lingua, gloriósi,
Córporis mystérium,
Sangúinisque pretiósi,
Quem in mundi prétium
Fructus ventris generósi
Rex effudit géntium.
During the singing of this hymn, Sister Pilar leaves her place in the choir and prostrates herself before the altar.
Nobis datus, nobis natus
